Ideal for schooling, turn-out, or routine stable maintenance, it features padded contact points to protect sensitive areas of the equine face. While it offers excellent versatility through its adjustable design, users should note that the webbing material is designed for standard economy use and may not be suitable for extreme heavy-duty tethering.

FAQs
Is this headcollar machine washable?
We recommend hand washing with mild soap to ensure the padding and brass eyelets remain in the best condition.
What material is this made from?
It is constructed from high-quality, durable, and lightweight nylon webbing.
Can this be used for trailering?
While durable, it is best practice to use a safety-release headcollar when trailering for the horse's protection.
How do I know what size to get?
The headcollar is highly adjustable; ensure you measure your horse's crown and nose circumference to align with standard cob or horse sizing.
Will the brass eyelets rust?
The brass is resistant to corrosion, but like all metal hardware, it should be kept clean and dry to ensure a long lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar is rubbing the horse's face
Check the fit; ensure the noseband is not sitting too low and that the padding is properly positioned over the sensitive pressure points.
Quick-snap clip is sticking
Rinse the clip thoroughly with fresh water to remove grit or sand, and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Webbing is fraying at the adjustment holes
Carefully singe the edges of the fraying nylon with a flame to seal the ends, ensuring you do not burn the main structure of the strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your headcollar, start by placing the noseband over the muzzle and buckling the headstrap behind the ears. Adjust the side straps so that the noseband sits roughly two fingers below the cheekbone. Compatibility is standard for most equine turnout and schooling scenarios. For maintenance, simply hand wash the nylon webbing in warm water with a mild, non-detergent soap to remove dirt and sweat. Rinse thoroughly and allow the headcollar to air dry in the shade to prevent the nylon from weakening due to prolonged UV exposure. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the padding and brass hardware.
