FAQs

Is this head collar suitable for turnout?

While durable, it is designed for daily handling, grooming, and tying. Always consider if a breakaway collar is safer for your specific turnout situation.

Can I put this in the washing machine?

Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the metal fittings and padding. If you must machine wash, use a protective laundry bag on a gentle cycle.

What size should I choose?

The collar is highly adjustable, but please compare your horse's current measurements against standard sizing charts to ensure the best fit.

Will the silver fittings rust?

The fittings are designed to be durable, but like any metal used in stable environments, they should be kept clean and dry to prevent oxidation.

Does it come in other colours?

Yes, this model is part of a series that includes pink, blue, green, brown, and red options.

Troubleshooting

Head collar feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the buckle on the headpiece and noseband to redistribute pressure and ensure proper spacing.

Snap clip becomes stuck or stiff

Remove dirt from the hinge with a small brush and apply a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant.

Padding shows signs of heavy hair buildup

Use a rubber curry comb or a soft brush to gently lift hair from the fabric lining.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft padding prevents skin irritation
  • Sturdy silver-coloured hardware for long-term reliability
  • Snap clip allows for quick handling
  • Adjustable design fits a wide range of horses
  • Modern, attractive aesthetic

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty turnout if a breakaway feature is required
  • Silver fittings may lose shine over long periods of heavy use
  • Limited to standard economy specifications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your head collar, first ensure the crown piece is adjusted to sit comfortably behind the ears, ensuring it is not too tight against the jaw. The noseband should sit two fingers' width below the cheekbones to prevent restriction of breathing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Regularly brush off dried mud or debris to prevent abrasive wear on the webbing.
  2. For deep cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour.
  3. Check the snap clip periodically to ensure the spring mechanism remains functional and free of rust or dirt accumulation.
