FAQs

Can this headcollar be left on during turnout?

Yes, it is designed for daily use, but ensure it is properly fitted to prevent catching on fence posts or other objects.

Is this headcollar machine washable?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the padding and metal hardware.

Does it come in different sizes?

Yes, different variations exist, including specific sizes like Small Pony, to accommodate various horse breeds.

What is the primary material?

The headcollar is constructed from durable, high-quality nylon.

How do I ensure the best fit?

You should be able to fit two fingers between the headcollar and the horse's face at the nose and cheek points.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar feels too loose

Adjust the head and noseband buckles to shorten the straps and ensure a snug, safe fit.

Padding looks compressed or dirty

Gently hand wash with a soft brush and mild equine-safe detergent to remove dirt and restore loft.

Buckle is sticking

Clean any debris or dried mud from the hardware and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of comfort due to cushioned lining
  • Easy to customize fit with multiple adjustment points
  • Durable nylon material for longevity
  • Convenient throat lash clip simplifies daily use

Cons

  • Requires regular inspection of metal hardware
  • Nylon can become stiff if left dirty over long periods
  • Limited to standard nylon aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your headcollar, start by loosening the headband and noseband straps before placing it over the horse's nose. Fasten the throat lash using the quick-release clip, then adjust the head and nose straps until you can fit two fingers between the strap and the horse's skin. Compatibility is standard for most equine turnout and grooming needs. To care for the headcollar, rinse off mud and dirt after use and periodically hand wash with mild soap to maintain the integrity of the padding. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct high-heat sources to prevent the nylon from fraying.
