FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
Yes, it is designed for daily use, though regular checks are recommended to ensure it remains clean and properly fitted.
How do I choose the right size?
The Topaz headcollar is highly adjustable. Compare your horse's current headcollar measurements against standard sizes to ensure a proper fit.
Can the nylon material be machine washed?
Hand washing in warm water is recommended to protect the integrity of the buckles and the cushioned padding.
What colors are available?
The Shires Topaz range is available in several colors including Black, Blue, Green, Red, and Grey.
Does it come with a lead rope?
No, the headcollar is sold as a standalone item.
Troubleshooting
The headcollar feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the headpiece and noseband straps until you can fit two fingers between the strap and the horse's face.
The throat lash clip is sticking
Clean the hardware with a damp brush to remove grit and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
The headcollar is causing rub marks
Ensure the padding is properly centered on the nose and crown and check that the headcollar is not adjusted too tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the headcollar, begin by undoing all buckles and placing the crown piece over the horse's ears. Fasten the head strap first, then adjust the noseband so it sits comfortably two fingers below the cheekbone. Finally, ensure the throat strap is snug but allows enough room for the horse to move its jaw.
For care, wipe the nylon webbing with a damp cloth to remove mud and sweat. If the headcollar becomes heavily soiled, it can be soaked in warm, soapy water and hung to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity. Check the metal clips and buckles periodically to ensure they move freely.
