FAQs

What is the main purpose of this headcollar?

The Requisite Economy Headcollar is designed for everyday handling, leading, and turnout, providing a reliable and comfortable way to manage your horse.

How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?

Adjust the throatlatch, noseband, and cheek straps until you can comfortably fit two fingers between the straps and your horse's head. Ensure it's snug enough not to slip but loose enough to prevent rubbing.

Can this headcollar be used for training?

This is an economy headcollar intended for basic daily use. It is not specifically designed for specialized or advanced training methods that might require more robust or specific equipment.

How should I clean the headcollar?

Wipe with a damp cloth. For dirt, use mild soap and water, rinse well, and air dry completely away from direct heat or sun.

What makes this headcollar 'economy'?

The 'economy' designation typically refers to its straightforward design and reliable functionality for essential tasks, without the specialized features or premium materials of higher-priced models.

Is the silver color prone to fading?

Like many textiles exposed to sunlight, the silver color may fade over time with prolonged and frequent exposure to direct sunlight. Storing the headcollar out of the sun when not in use can help preserve its color.

How often should I check the fit of the headcollar?

It's good practice to check the fit of the headcollar before each use, especially if it's been taken off and put back on, or if the horse has been rolling or activities that might shift it.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar appears too loose or too tight.

Adjust the buckles on the crown, noseband, and cheek straps to achieve a two-finger gap between the straps and the horse's head. Ensure all straps are secured after adjustment.

Horse seems uncomfortable or rubs the headcollar.

Re-check strap adjustments for any pinching points. Ensure the noseband is centered and not too low. If discomfort persists, consider if the headcollar size is appropriate for the horse.

Buckles do not stay fastened.

Ensure the strap ends are correctly threaded through the buckle. If buckles are worn or damaged, consider replacing the headcollar.

Material shows signs of wear and tear after regular use.

Inspect the headcollar regularly for fraying or weakened areas. For minor wear, continue to monitor closely. Significant damage may require replacement for safety.
