Product Information
Full details
The Shires Topaz Horse Headcollar is designed for horse owners seeking a durable yet comfortable everyday solution for leading and tying their animals. Crafted from high-quality nylon with thoughtful anti-chafe padding, it provides a secure fit that minimizes irritation during extended wear; however, users should note that as a standard nylon piece, it requires regular inspection for wear and tear common with synthetic materials.

FAQs
Is this headcollar machine washable?
Hand washing in warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the integrity of the padding and hardware.
Can this be used for turnout?
Yes, but ensure the fit is correct and consider using a breakaway style if you are concerned about the horse catching it on fences.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your horse's nose and head, and compare these to standard sizing charts; remember that this model is highly adjustable.
Does it come with a lead rope?
No, the headcollar is sold as a standalone item and does not include a lead rope.
What colors are available?
The Topaz range is available in several colors including pink, black, blue, green, grey, and red.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar is rubbing the horse's face
Check the fit to ensure it is not too tight; adjust the noseband and headpiece straps to distribute pressure evenly.
Buckles are difficult to move
Clean the webbing around the buckle to remove dried mud or grit, then lightly lubricate the buckle if necessary.
Clip is sticking
Rinse the clip with warm water and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the headcollar, start by loosening the adjustable buckles on both the headpiece and noseband. Place the headpiece over the ears, fasten the throat lash clip, and then adjust the straps until you can comfortably fit two fingers between the noseband and the horse's nose. For care, wash the nylon periodically with warm soapy water to remove sweat, mud, and debris that can cause abrasion. Allow the headcollar to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the nylon from becoming brittle. Inspect the buckles and clips monthly for signs of rust or mechanical failure.
