The Horseware Ireland Field Safe Headcollar is designed for equestrian owners who need a reliable, high-visibility option for horses turned out in the field. Its primary benefit is the specialized Velcro breakaway mechanism that prevents injury by releasing under pressure, ensuring your horse's safety if the headcollar gets snagged. While this design offers essential peace of mind, the breakaway strap requires regular inspection to ensure the hook-and-loop material remains clean and effective for emergency release.

Yes, it is specifically designed for turnout; the Velcro breakaway strap is intended to release if the horse gets caught.
It is not recommended for intensive training or tying up, as the breakaway mechanism may release if the horse pulls back sharply.
Use a soft brush to remove hair and debris from the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure they remain functional.
The reversible metal plate is designed for you to engrave the horse's name and your contact details for easy identification.
Yes, the range includes options for Pony, Cob, and Horse sizes to ensure a proper fit.
Ensure the Velcro is completely clean of debris and press it firmly across the entire contact surface.
Adjust the chin and cheek buckles evenly; if the headcollar still slips, ensure it is the correct size for your horse's breed type.
Wipe the reflective labels with a damp cloth to remove caked-on dirt or dried mud that may be blocking the light reflection.
To set up your headcollar, first adjust the chin and cheek buckles to ensure the noseband sits comfortably across the horse's nose, approximately two fingers below the cheekbone. Once the sizing is correct, secure the Velcro breakaway crownpiece; ensure the Velcro is pressed firmly across the full length of the strap to ensure it stays in place under normal conditions but releases under pressure.
To clean the headcollar, rinse it with cool water and a mild soap to remove field mud and dirt. It is critical to keep the Velcro strip free of burrs, hair, and grit, as debris can prevent the breakaway mechanism from functioning correctly. Regularly inspect the stitching and the state of the Velcro to ensure the materials are not wearing out due to extreme weather or UV exposure.
