Troubleshooting
Head collar seems too large or too small for my cob
Ensure all adjustment buckles are correctly positioned. Double-check that the model is indeed a 'Cob' size, as sizing can vary slightly between brands. Refer to sizing charts if available or consult with the retailer.
Brass fastenings are stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the brass fastenings with a soft cloth. You can try a small amount of metal polish specifically designed for brass, ensuring it is wiped away thoroughly to avoid contact with the horse.
Nylon webbing appears worn or frayed
Inspect the webbing regularly for signs of wear. If significant fraying or damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the head collar for safety.
