FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
While it is durable enough for turnout, it is a non-breakaway model. Use discretion based on your horse's behavior and the safety of your fencing.
What material is the headcollar made from?
It is constructed from high-strength, lightweight nylon webbing.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash to protect the hardware and padding, though it can be placed in a wash bag on a delicate cycle if absolutely necessary.
Does the headcollar come with a lead rope?
No, the Mackey Economy Webbing Headcollar is sold as a standalone item.
How do I ensure the brass eyelets last?
Keep them clean of mud and moisture; if they become dull, a standard brass polish can restore their shine and prevent oxidation.
Will this fit a pony?
The headcollar is highly adjustable; however, ensure you select the appropriate size (e.g., Pony, Cob, or Full) relative to your horse's specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar webbing feels stiff or crusted
Soak the headcollar in a bucket of warm, soapy water and gently scrub with a soft brush to remove dried sweat and debris.
Quick-snap clip is sticking
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and work the clip back and forth to clear out grit.
Straps slipping after adjustment
Check that the nylon is properly threaded through the buckle teeth; if fraying is present at the adjustment point, trim the fraying carefully with scissors and heat-seal the end.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening all straps before placing the headcollar on the horse. Once positioned, adjust the headpiece first to ensure the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone, then tighten the nose strap to a point where two fingers can still fit between the webbing and the horse's face. For maintenance, clean the nylon webbing regularly by rinsing with warm water and a mild detergent to remove sweat and dirt buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can weaken the nylon fibers. Inspect the brass eyelets and hardware monthly for signs of corrosion or structural weakness to ensure continued safe operation.
