Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Padded Headcollar is designed for horse owners who prioritize equine comfort during daily handling, grooming, and turnout. Featuring a durable nylon construction with soft padding at the contact points, it effectively reduces friction and pressure on sensitive areas like the nose and poll. While it offers excellent durability for everyday tasks, users should note that the brass-colored fittings are aesthetic and require regular maintenance to prevent oxidation compared to solid brass counterparts.

FAQs
Is this headcollar machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash this headcollar in warm water to preserve the integrity of the nylon weave and the padding.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your horse's nose and the distance from one side of the bit, over the poll, to the other side to compare with sizing charts.
Are the fittings made of solid brass?
The headcollar features brass-colored clips and fittings, which provide a traditional look but are not solid brass.
Can I leave this headcollar on in the field?
While durable, it is generally recommended to use a breakaway-style headcollar for turnout to ensure safety if the horse gets caught on a fence or tree.
Does the padding lose its softness after washing?
The padding is designed to remain durable, but avoid using harsh chemicals or tumble drying to maintain its cushioning properties.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar rubbing on the horse's face
Check the fit; it is likely too tight. Adjust the headpiece or noseband to provide more clearance.
Buckles or clips becoming stiff
Clean the hardware with a damp cloth to remove grit and apply a small amount of non-toxic lubricant.
Dirt buildup in the padding
Soak the headcollar in warm soapy water and use a soft brush to gently scrub the padded areas before rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper fit is essential for the effectiveness of the padding. When fitting the headcollar, ensure the noseband sits two fingers below the cheekbone. The headpiece should be adjusted so the poll strap is centered behind the ears without pulling tight against the base of the ears.
For care, hand wash the headcollar in warm water with a mild, equine-safe detergent to remove dirt, sweat, and mud. Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue from irritating the horse's skin. Always air dry the headcollar away from direct heat sources, as extreme heat can weaken the nylon weave and damage the padded components. Check all clips and buckles monthly for signs of stiffness and apply a light lubricant if necessary.
