FAQs
Is this collar suitable for turnout?
Yes, it is suitable for turnout, but ensure it is properly fitted to prevent it from catching on fences or equipment.
How do I know which size to choose?
The collar is fully adjustable, but ensure you measure your horse's crown and nose circumference to align with the typical pony, cob, or full size ranges.
Can the collar be machine washed?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the hardware finish and the integrity of the padding.
Are replacement clips available?
While the clip is heavy-duty, if it fails, it is often more cost-effective to replace the head collar given its economy design status.
Does the padding stay soft after washing?
Yes, provided it is air-dried and not exposed to extreme heat which can cause the padding materials to shrink or harden.
Troubleshooting
Snap clip becomes stiff or hard to open
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and cycle it several times.
Collar keeps slipping to one side
Check that the adjustment buckles are set equally on both sides of the horse's face.
Buckles are difficult to slide through the keepers
Clear any dried mud or debris from the webbing and check for fraying that might be catching on the hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the buckles on the headpiece and noseband symmetrically to keep the collar centered. Regularly inspect the stitching and the snap clip mechanism for any signs of fatigue. To clean, soak the collar in lukewarm soapy water, scrub gently with a soft brush to remove dirt or sweat buildup, and air dry completely away from direct heat sources to prevent material stiffness.
