Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Padded Headcollar is designed for horse owners who prioritize both equine comfort and long-term durability during daily handling. Constructed from premium nylon with thoughtful padding, it effectively reduces friction and pressure on sensitive areas like the nose and poll, making it an excellent choice for horses that are prone to rubbing. While it offers superior comfort and a professional aesthetic, owners should note that it requires periodic hand washing to maintain the integrity of the padding and the appearance of the hardware.

FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
Yes, its durable nylon construction makes it suitable for daily turnout, though it is always recommended to use a breakaway headcollar if you are concerned about safety when unsupervised.
How do I ensure the correct size?
You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the noseband and the horse's nose, and the cheekpieces should not pinch the eyes.
Can I machine wash this headcollar?
Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the padding and the hardware finish. Machine washing may cause the padding to lose its shape or damage the clips.
What does the 'double and triple weave' mean?
It refers to the density and layering of the nylon fibers, which provides significantly more strength than standard single-layer webbing.
Does the brass hardware rust?
The fittings are designed to be durable and resistant to corrosion, but like all hardware, they should be kept clean and dry to ensure longevity.
Troubleshooting
Buckles become stiff to operate
Clear any debris or dried mud from the buckle mechanism and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.
Padding looks flattened after heavy use
Gently massage the padded areas after washing to help restore loft and ensure it is fully air-dried before the next use.
Fittings show minor surface tarnishing
Clean the brass-tone fittings with a soft, damp cloth and buff with a dry cloth to restore shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the buckles on the headpiece so the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone, ensuring there is enough room for the horse to chew without the noseband being too restrictive. This headcollar is fully compatible with most standard lead ropes, though it is designed to pair perfectly with KM Elite luxury lead ropes for a uniform appearance.
For care, it is recommended to hand wash the headcollar in warm water with a mild, horse-safe detergent. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn dirt from the nylon webbing. Always allow the headcollar to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could degrade the padding material.
