Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this head collar suitable for turn-out?

While durable, it does not feature a specific breakaway component. Use discretion based on your horse's pasture behavior.

How do I clean the softice padding?

Gently scrub with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then air dry away from direct heat sources.

Can I use this for lunging?

This head collar is primarily for handling and grooming; avoid using it as a primary control device during vigorous lunging.

Does the silver hardware rust?

The fittings are designed for barn use; however, they should be dried after exposure to moisture to maintain their finish.

Are there different sizes available?

Yes, sizes range from Shetland Pony to Full, ensuring a fit for various breeds and sizes.

Troubleshooting

Snap clip fails to close properly

Clear any debris or sand trapped in the hinge with a small brush and apply a light silicone lubricant.

Buckle tongue is difficult to insert

Inspect the hole for frayed material; trim any loose threads and ensure the tongue is not bent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Softice material minimizes pressure points and irritation
  • Adjustable straps ensure a versatile fit for different horses
  • Sturdy silver-coloured hardware provides reliable fastening
  • Snap clip simplifies the process of securing the head collar

Cons

  • Lacks advanced breakaway safety features for pasture turn-out
  • Requires regular inspection of the buckle holes to prevent stretching
  • Limited to specific colour options in certain size ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, begin by adjusting the headpiece equally on both sides to center the noseband. The head collar should sit comfortably below the horse's cheekbones without restricting breathing or causing discomfort. Compatibility across the brand is high; if you use HKM lead ropes, the snap clip will provide a seamless connection. For care, clean the nylon material regularly by rinsing with mild soap and warm water to remove sweat, dirt, and dust. Always hang the head collar in a dry, ventilated area to prevent metal corrosion and material decay. Check all buckle tongues and the snap clip spring mechanism monthly to ensure they remain fully functional.
