FAQs

How often should I wash the headcollar?

It's recommended to wash the headcollar as needed when it appears dirty or has accumulated sweat and debris. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the fleece, so spot cleaning is often sufficient for minor marks.

Can I use a regular detergent?

Yes, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fleece and fabric.

What is the purpose of the fleece inserts?

The fleece inserts are designed to provide extra padding, distribute pressure evenly across the horse's head and nose, and prevent rubbing, thereby maximizing comfort.

Is the leadrope adjustable?

The headcollar itself is adjustable, but the included leadrope is a standard length and not adjustable.

How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?

Adjust the headpiece straps on both sides and the chin strap so that the headcollar sits comfortably without pinching or slipping. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly between the headcollar and your horse's head.

What makes this headcollar different from other LeMieux models?

The Vogue model is characterized by its extensive fleece lining on the collar strap, noseband, and cheek straps, offering a higher level of comfort and pressure distribution compared to models without this feature.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar seems too large or small

Utilize the multi-adjustable straps at the headpiece and chin to achieve a customized fit. Ensure it's snug but not tight, allowing for two fingers underneath.

Fleece appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush before washing. Follow the recommended washing instructions (machine wash at 30°C in a wash bag or hand wash) and ensure it is air-dried thoroughly.

Buckles or clasps are stiff

Ensure buckles are clean and free from debris. If stiffness persists after cleaning, a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly, ensuring it doesn't transfer to the fleece or webbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced comfort for the horse due to extensive fleece lining.
  • Even pressure distribution reduces the risk of rubs or discomfort.
  • Highly adjustable for a personalized and secure fit.
  • Durable construction with solid nickel hardware.
  • Includes a matching leadrope for a complete set.

Cons

  • Fleece requires specific washing instructions to maintain its condition.
  • May be a higher price point compared to basic headcollars.
  • Fleece can potentially attract debris if not cleaned regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The headcollar is designed for immediate use. Adjust the straps at the headpiece (on both sides) and the chin strap to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure two fingers can fit snugly between the headcollar and the horse's head. The included leadrope attaches securely to the D-ring on the chin strap.

Compatibility: This headcollar is suitable for a wide range of horse breeds and sizes due to its multi-adjustable design. It is compatible with standard leadropes, though the included matching one is recommended for aesthetic and functional harmony.

Care:

  1. Machine Washable: Wash at up to 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Use a Wash Bag: Recommended to protect the buckles and clasps from damage during the wash cycle.
  3. Hand Wash Option: Alternatively, hand wash in warm water.
  4. Air Dry: Allow the headcollar and leadrope to air dry naturally.
  5. Do Not Tumble Dry: Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and fleece.
