Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Economy Webbing Headcollar is an ideal choice for horse owners seeking a practical, everyday solution for leading and securing their animals. Designed with lightweight yet durable nylon webbing, this headcollar offers a secure fit for a variety of horse sizes thanks to its adjustable straps. While the material is highly resistant to daily wear, it is an economy-grade product, meaning it may not offer the same level of luxury or long-term heavy-duty structural integrity as premium leather alternatives.

FAQs
Can this headcollar be left on in the pasture?
It is generally recommended to use a specialized safety or breakaway headcollar if leaving a horse unattended in a pasture to prevent injury.
How do I determine the correct size?
Adjust the nose and crown straps to ensure a snug but comfortable fit; the noseband should sit approximately two fingers width below the cheekbone.
Is this product machine washable?
While it can be washed, hand washing in warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the integrity of the metal hardware.
Does the colour fade over time?
Extended exposure to direct, harsh sunlight may cause the nylon to fade, but the structural integrity will remain intact for an extended period.
Are the metal buckles rust-proof?
The fittings are corrosion-resistant; however, it is best practice to wipe them down after exposure to saltwater or harsh stable chemicals.
Troubleshooting
The quick-snap buckle is sticking or difficult to close.
Check for debris or dirt inside the mechanism; rinse with water and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.
The headcollar is slipping over the horse's ears.
Adjust the head strap to be shorter until the crown piece sits securely behind the ears without pulling the cheek pieces too close to the eyes.
The noseband is causing irritation.
Ensure the padding is properly aligned and check that the noseband is not tightened beyond the recommended two-finger rule.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening the head and nose straps before placing the headcollar on the horse. Once positioned, adjust the nose strap so it sits two fingers below the cheekbone, ensuring the noseband is not too tight. Finally, adjust the headpiece to ensure the cheek pieces sit comfortably away from the horse's eyes. To care for your webbing, regularly remove dirt by brushing off dry debris or soaking the headcollar in warm, soapy water. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the nylon fibers from becoming brittle.
