FAQs

Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?

Yes, it is durable enough for regular use, though regular maintenance is required to keep the leather in top condition.

How do I choose the right size?

The Mackey Classic Headcollar comes in various sizes from Foal to Full. Measure your horse's head circumference to match the specific model requirements.

Does the brass tarnish easily?

No, the fittings are lacquered to resist corrosion and maintain their shine.

Can I use this on a growing foal?

Yes, the adjustable nose and headpiece make it highly suitable for growing animals, allowing you to loosen the fit as needed.

What is the best way to store the headcollar?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to preserve the integrity of the leather.

Troubleshooting

Buckles becoming difficult to move

Check for dried dirt or mud buildup in the buckle and clean with a damp cloth, then apply a tiny amount of leather oil to the leather near the hardware.

Leather feels stiff or dry

Apply a specialized leather conditioner or dressing to restore natural oils and flexibility.

Brass fittings losing shine

Wipe with a soft, microfiber cloth. If debris is present, use a damp cloth followed by immediate drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather that softens with use
  • Corrosion-resistant lacquered brass fittings
  • Fully adjustable headpiece and noseband
  • Sophisticated and traditional aesthetic
  • Durable construction suitable for daily handling

Cons

  • Requires regular leather conditioning
  • Not machine washable
  • Leather may stiffen if left exposed to extreme weather without care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, adjust the headpiece and noseband buckles while the headcollar is on the horse, ensuring there is enough room for two fingers to pass comfortably between the leather and the horse's face. Compatibility is broad, with the range offering sizes from weanling to full, ensuring you can find the correct fit for various growth stages. For care, wipe down the leather after use to remove dirt, and periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the brass fittings; a simple soft, dry cloth is sufficient to maintain their luster.
