FAQs

What makes this headcollar different from a standard one?

The LeMieux Vogue Headcollar features extensive fleece inserts at the poll and noseband for superior pressure distribution and comfort, along with multi-adjustability and solid nickel hardware for durability and a premium finish.

Is the leadrope included with the headcollar?

Yes, each LeMieux Vogue Headcollar comes with a matching leadrope made from marine-quality material.

How should I clean the fleece inserts?

The fleece inserts should be hand-washed with cool water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Can this headcollar be used for turnout?

While durable, this headcollar is best suited for handling, training, and leading. For turnout, especially in high-risk environments, a simpler, less padded headcollar might be more appropriate to prevent snagging.

What is the benefit of multi-adjustable straps?

Multi-adjustable straps on both the poll and curb allow for a highly customized fit, ensuring optimal comfort and security for horses with varying head shapes and sizes, preventing pressure points.

What material is the leadrope made from?

The leadrope is made from marine-quality material, known for its durability and resistance to the elements, and features a gun metal finish trigger clip.

What is the finish of the metal hardware?

The buckles and fasteners are made of solid nickel with a gun metal finish, offering both strength and a sleek aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar is too tight or too loose

Adjust the buckles on both the poll strap and curb strap. Ensure you can fit two fingers comfortably between the straps and the horse's head. Re-adjust if the fit changes during use.

Fleece appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush after use. For cleaning, hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Nickel hardware is tarnished

Gently polish the nickel buckles with a soft, dry cloth. For significant tarnish, a mild metal polish specifically for nickel can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe-down.

Leadrope clip is stiff

Ensure the clip mechanism is free of dirt or debris. Clean with a damp cloth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, ensuring it does not transfer to the horse.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced comfort for the horse due to extensive fleece lining.
  • Even pressure distribution reduces the risk of sores and discomfort.
  • Fully adjustable for a secure and personalized fit.
  • High-quality materials and durable nickel hardware.
  • Includes a matching, high-quality leadrope.

Cons

  • May be a higher price point compared to standard headcollars.
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain the fleece's condition.
  • Specific sizing may need careful consideration for a perfect fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the headcollar is correctly oriented with the noseband facing the horse's nose and the poll strap over the poll.
  2. Utilize the adjustable buckles on both sides of the poll strap and the curb strap to achieve a snug, but not tight, fit. A general guideline is to allow two fingers' width between the strap and the horse's head.
  3. Attach the included leadrope to the lower ring of the noseband.

Compatibility:

This headcollar is designed for equine use. It is compatible with standard leadropes and is suitable for most horse head sizes due to its multi-adjustable design. It is intended for leading, tying (under supervision), and general handling.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Headcollar: Hand wash the headcollar using cool water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the fleece and hardware.
  • Drying: Air dry the headcollar away from direct heat sources. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before use to prevent mildew.
  • Leadrope: The leadrope can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, preferably in a breathable bag, to protect the fleece and hardware from dirt and damage.
