Product Information
Full details
The Woof Wear Contour Head Collar is designed for horse owners seeking a blend of anatomical comfort and reliable control. Ideal for daily handling, grooming, and turnout, this head collar features specialized neoprene padding that protects sensitive facial areas and prevents rubbing. While it offers superior comfort and a balanced fit through its double-buckle design, users should ensure the material is regularly cleaned to maintain its aesthetic vibrancy and padding integrity over time.

FAQs
Is this head collar suitable for turnout?
Yes, it is suitable for turnout, but ensure it is fitted correctly so it does not snag on fencing or other objects.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash to preserve the integrity of the neoprene padding and the durability of the hardware.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The Cob size is typically designed for horses with medium-sized heads. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the noseband and the horse's face.
Does the red color fade?
The material is high-quality, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor fading over time. Rinsing after exposure to mud or salt helps maintain the color.
What is the benefit of the double-buckled headpiece?
It allows for perfect symmetry, ensuring the headpiece stays centered and does not pull to one side, which is common with single-buckle designs.
Troubleshooting
Head collar slips to one side
Adjust the headpiece buckles symmetrically; if one side is tighter than the other, the collar will pull off-center.
Rubbing occurs despite padding
Ensure the collar is not fitted too tightly; allow for a two-finger gap under the noseband.
Buckles become stiff
Check for debris in the buckle mechanism and use a light lubricant if necessary to restore smooth movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the head collar, start by loosening both buckles on the headpiece evenly. Once the collar is placed over the horse's head, adjust the noseband first to ensure it sits comfortably above the nostrils without restricting breathing. Then, adjust both sides of the headpiece buckles to ensure the throat latch sits correctly and the headpiece is centered.
For care, wipe the neoprene padding with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat or dirt. If a deeper clean is required, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild, horse-safe detergent and air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the padding from hardening or cracking.
