FAQs
Can this head collar be left on in the pasture?
This model is intended for stable use and handling; it is generally recommended to use breakaway-style head collars for turnout to ensure safety.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizes are generally categorized by horse type (Pony, Cob, Full). Measure your horse's crown circumference if you are unsure which category fits best.
Is the padding waterproof?
The padding is designed for comfort, not water resistance. It should be dried thoroughly if it becomes wet.
Are the buckles rust-resistant?
While durable, the hardware should be kept clean and dry to prevent corrosion over time.
What is the best way to store it?
Hang the head collar in a clean, dry area of the tack room away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
Troubleshooting
Head collar feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the buckle on the headpiece to change the overall height or the noseband buckle to adjust fit around the muzzle.
Snap clip becomes stiff
Clean any debris or dried mud from the spring mechanism and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the head collar, adjust the headpiece buckles first to achieve the proper height, followed by the noseband adjustment to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the noseband sits two fingers below the cheekbone. Compatibility is high across most standard equine head sizes, but always verify the specific size (Pony, Cob, or Full) for your horse. For care, wipe down with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. If heavily soiled, hand wash in cool water with mild equine-safe detergent and air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the padding.
