FAQs
Can I leave this head collar on in the field?
It is not recommended to leave this head collar on in the pasture as the materials are designed for handling and travel, not for turnout safety.
How do I clean the softopren lining?
Wipe the lining down with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt, and allow it to air dry.
Are there matching accessories available?
Yes, HKM offers matching lead ropes to complete your set.
Is this collar suitable for a draft horse?
The fit depends on the specific size chosen; please refer to standard sizing charts for Cob or Full size to ensure a proper fit for your horse.
Does the satin material fade in the sun?
Prolonged exposure to direct UV light can affect the color of any textile; it is best to store the collar in a shaded area when not in use.
Troubleshooting
The head collar is rubbing against the horse's skin.
Check that the collar is not fitted too tightly; adjust the straps to ensure there is a finger-width of space between the noseband and the nose.
The buckles are becoming difficult to adjust.
Clean the buckles with a soft brush to remove dust or grit, and ensure the fabric is not caught in the metal teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening all adjustment points before placing the collar over the horse's head. Adjust the noseband to ensure there is enough room for the horse to move its jaw without being loose enough to catch on objects. Once centered, secure the headpiece straps. For care, gently hand wash the collar with mild soap and water to protect the satin finish and softopren lining. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which may damage the hardware and fabric integrity. Hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
