FAQs

What material is the Duco Padded Head Collar made from?

The head collar is crafted from 100% soft, durable polyester.

How adjustable is this head collar?

It is fully adjustable both sides of the head and at the curb strap, offering a highly customizable fit.

Does the head collar come with a lead rope?

Yes, it comes complete with a 2-meter matching lead rope.

Is the padding removable?

The padding over the poll and noseband is integrated into the head collar design and is not removable.

What type of clip is used on the throat lash?

A convenient trigger clip is used on the throat lash for easy on and off.

How should I clean the head collar?

Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh detergents.

Can this head collar be used for turnout?

While durable for daily handling, it is primarily designed for groundwork and everyday handling rather than extended turnout, especially in environments where chewing may occur.

Troubleshooting

Head collar does not fit securely

Ensure all adjustable buckles on the headpiece and curb strap are tightened appropriately. Check that the correct size head collar is being used for the horse.

Padding appears to be causing irritation

Verify that the head collar is not too tight. Clean the padded areas to remove any dirt or debris that might be causing friction. Ensure the padding is sitting flat against the horse's skin.

Lead rope clip is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the clip mechanism to remove any dirt or grit. A small amount of lubricant specifically designed for metal hardware can be applied if necessary.

Color fading

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the head collar properly when not in use.

Padded poll and noseband enhance horse comfort and reduce pressure points.

Cons

Polyester material may not be as resistant to chewing damage as some other materials.
The color may be susceptible to fading with prolonged sun exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack the head collar and the matching lead rope.
Locate the adjustable buckles on the headpiece (one on each side) and the curb strap.
Loosen the buckles to open the head collar.
Gently place the head collar over the horse's head, ensuring the poll padding rests comfortably.
Fasten the throat lash clip.
Adjust the buckles on the headpiece and curb strap to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the head collar and the horse's head at the noseband and cheekpiece.
Attach the lead rope to the carabiner at the end of the curb strap.

Compatibility:

This head collar is designed for general equine use and is compatible with standard lead ropes. It is suitable for most horse breeds and sizes due to its extensive adjustability.

Care:

Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Maintenance: Regularly check all buckles, fittings, and the lead rope for signs of wear and tear. Replace any damaged parts to ensure safety.
