FAQs

Is this head collar machine washable?

Hand washing in warm water with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the integrity of the padding and hardware.

Can this be used for turnout?

While durable, it is best used for supervised handling. If used for turnout, ensure the field is free of objects that could cause snagging.

How do I choose the right size?

Because the collar is infinitely adjustable, you can fit it precisely to your horse's unique measurements by adjusting the head and nose straps.

Are the fittings rust-proof?

The fittings are silver-coloured and durable, but should be kept clean and dry to prevent corrosion over time.

Does the padding wear out?

With proper care, the padding remains soft, but inspect it regularly for signs of wear, especially if used daily.

Troubleshooting

Stiff buckles or hard-to-move adjustments

Clear away any dried mud or salt buildup in the buckle slots and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.

Head collar slips or is too loose

Ensure all straps are tightened evenly and check that the throat lash is adjusted to keep the crown piece centered behind the ears.

Collar causing skin rubbing

Verify that the collar is not too tight; you should be able to fit two fingers underneath the noseband and cheek pieces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft padding enhances animal comfort
  • Highly adjustable design fits diverse head shapes
  • Sturdy silver hardware for long-lasting use
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Quick-release snap clip for convenience

Cons

  • Not intended for turnout in fields with heavy fencing
  • Buckles may require occasional maintenance to stay shiny
  • Material may stiffen if left dirty for long periods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the head collar, first loosen all adjustable buckles. Place the noseband over the horse's muzzle and the headpiece behind the ears, then fasten the throat lash. Adjust the noseband and headpiece until you can comfortably slide two fingers between the collar and the horse’s skin. For maintenance, keep the collar clean by brushing off dried mud after use; if the collar becomes heavily soiled, hand wash it in warm water with a mild, equine-safe detergent. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from becoming brittle or stiff. Always inspect the silver fittings periodically for signs of wear or rust to ensure continued safety.
