FAQs

How do I fit the headcollar correctly?

Ensure the padded sections align with the base of the ears and that you can comfortably fit two fingers between the leather and the horse's face.

Can this headcollar be left on the horse in the field?

It is not recommended to leave any leather headcollar on while the horse is in the field, as leather can get snagged and lacks the safety release mechanisms of turnout-specific gear.

What is the best way to clean the brass hardware?

Use a gentle brass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Buff gently to restore the shine, and wipe away any residue with a damp cloth.

Does the leather require a break-in period?

High-quality full-grain leather may feel firm initially but will become softer and more supple with regular use and conditioning.

Is the brass nameplate removable?

The headcollar comes with a brass nameplate; depending on the specific model, it may be fixed or removable for engraving purposes.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or dry

Clean the leather thoroughly with a saddle soap to remove grit, then apply a generous layer of leather conditioner or oil to restore suppleness.

Brass fittings have become dull

Use a specialized brass polish applied with a soft cloth, taking care to avoid getting polish on the leather itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior anatomical pressure relief for the horse
  • High-quality construction using premium Italian leather
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant brass hardware
  • Sophisticated design suitable for competition or daily use

Cons

  • Requires regular leather cleaning and conditioning
  • Higher price point compared to synthetic alternatives
  • Leather may stiffen if not properly stored away from dampness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure the headcollar is fitted with enough room to allow the padding to rest comfortably without pinching the horse's ears. Because the headcollar is made of genuine Italian leather, regular maintenance is essential to preserve the material's integrity. Clean the leather after use to remove dirt and sweat using a soft cloth, and apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Avoid leaving the leather in direct sunlight or overly humid conditions for extended periods to prevent warping or mold growth.
