FAQs

Can I use this headcollar for turnout?

While the materials are durable, the fleece lining is best maintained with care. For full-time turnout, especially in muddy conditions, a simpler, more easily cleaned halter might be preferable to preserve the fleece's quality.

How often should I wash the headcollar and lead rope?

Wash as needed when visibly dirty or to remove sweat and debris. Over-washing can sometimes wear down materials, so cleaning when necessary is recommended.

Will the green color fade?

The materials are typically dyed for colorfastness, but like any fabric exposed to sunlight and washing, some fading may occur over extended periods. Following the care instructions can help maintain the color.

Is the lead rope long enough for general use?

The lead rope is made from marine quality material and is designed for standard handling. Specific lengths can vary, but it is typically suitable for most common equestrian activities.

What is the benefit of the gun metal finish?

The gun metal finish provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing look that is resistant to corrosion and wear compared to standard plated finishes.

Can I use a strong detergent for washing?

It is recommended to use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fleece and affect the material's properties. Always use a wash bag.

Troubleshooting

Horse seems uncomfortable or headcollar fits poorly.

Readjust the poll strap and curb strap on both sides to ensure an even, comfortable fit. Check that the fleece lining is lying flat and not bunching up.

Buckles are stiff or difficult to fasten.

Ensure the buckles are clean and free from dirt or debris. If washing, use a wash bag to protect them. Allow them to dry completely after washing.

Lead rope clip is not secure.

Check the trigger clip for any damage or debris that might be preventing it from closing fully. Ensure it is properly attached to the halter's D-ring.

Fleece lining appears matted or dirty.

Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, follow the washing instructions carefully and ensure thorough air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This headcollar and lead rope set requires no complex setup. Simply adjust the straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit for your horse. Ensure the fleece-lined sections lie flat against the horse's head without creating pressure points. The trigger clip on the lead rope should attach securely to the halter's D-ring.

Compatibility:

The LeMieux Vogue Headcollar is designed to fit most horse breeds with its adjustable features. The standard trigger clip on the lead rope is compatible with most standard halter D-rings.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: Launder up to 30 degrees Celsius.
  • Wash Bag Recommended: Use a wash bag to protect the buckles and fastenings from damage during the wash cycle.
  • Hand Wash Option: Alternatively, hand wash in hot water.
  • Air Dry Only: Allow the headcollar and lead rope to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry.
  • Drying: Ensure all fleece components are thoroughly dry before use to prevent mildew.
