FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
No, this headcollar is designed for handling, training, and travel. It is not recommended for field use as the leather can be damaged by weather and snagging.
How do I choose the correct size?
The headcollar is available in sizes ranging from Pony to Extra Full. Measure your horse's poll and nose circumference to compare against standard sizing charts to ensure a perfect fit.
Can the noseband be replaced?
The noseband is integrated into the headcollar construction; professional repair may be required for structural parts.
What is the benefit of the 'duo' noseband?
The combination of rolled leather and rope provides a more focused pressure point, allowing for better control than a standard flat leather noseband.
Does the brass hardware rust?
The hardware is brass plated; while it is durable, it should be kept dry and wiped clean after use to maintain its shine and prevent long-term tarnishing.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in leather after storage
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner and work it into the fibers to restore suppleness.
Sliding ring not moving smoothly
Clean any debris or dried mud from the rope and noseband area, then check for any leather fraying that might impede movement.
Hardware tarnish
Gently polish the brass plated hardware with a dry, soft cloth to remove oxidation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup is vital to ensure the control mechanism functions correctly. Adjust the headpiece using the double-ended fastenings so that the throat lash sits comfortably without being overly tight. When applying, ensure the sliding ring moves freely along the noseband to avoid binding.
To maintain the leather, clean the headcollar regularly using a quality leather cleaner to remove sweat and dirt. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always store the headcollar in a dry, cool environment away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
