FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
Yes, it is designed for daily handling and turnout, provided the horse is not prone to catching its headcollar on objects.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
You should be able to fit two fingers between the noseband and the horse's nose, and the headcollar should not press against the cheekbones.
Can the leadrope be detached?
Yes, the leadrope is separate and can be easily detached from the headcollar using the standard swivel clip.
Should I wash the headcollar in a machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a cold, delicate cycle inside a wash bag to protect the metal hardware.
Does the fleece padding hold moisture?
As with any fleece-lined product, it may retain some water if submerged, so it is best to hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar is uneven on the face
Adjust the buckles on both sides of the headpiece equally to ensure the cheek pieces are symmetrical.
Fleece padding becoming matted
Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush after it has dried from a wash to restore loft.
Trigger clip is stiff or sticking
Clean the clip mechanism with warm water to remove grit or debris and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening the buckle settings on both sides of the headpiece before placing the headcollar on the horse. Once centered, adjust the crown strap so that the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone, ensuring it is not too low. The curb strap should be adjusted to allow for slight movement without being overly loose. For care, hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a mild detergent to keep the fleece clean and soft. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material or irritate the horse's skin. Regularly inspect the hardware and trigger clip for signs of rust or wear to ensure continued security.
