FAQs

Can I leave this headcollar on the horse while in the field?

While the design is durable, it is generally recommended to use a breakaway-style headcollar for turnout to ensure safety if the horse gets caught on a fence.

Is this headcollar machine washable?

Hand washing with mild soap is recommended to preserve the integrity of the padding and the hardware.

How do I know which size to choose?

Shires headcollars follow standard sizing; measure your horse's crown circumference and compare against standard breed sizing charts.

Does the padding cover the whole headcollar?

The padding is strategically placed on the headpiece and noseband where most pressure and friction occur.

What should I do if the hardware starts to rust?

Clean the metal with a light abrasive cloth or wire brush to remove surface rust, then apply a light coating of metal protectant.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar keeps slipping or seems too loose

Re-adjust the crown piece and noseband buckles to ensure a snug fit; ensure the hardware is fully engaged.

Buckles are difficult to move

Soak the nylon webbing in warm water to soften it and check for debris or grit inside the buckle mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully adjustable for a customized fit
  • Soft padding minimizes the risk of rubs
  • Durable nylon construction for longevity
  • Easy-to-use throat clip for quick handling

Cons

  • Nylon can become stiff if left caked in mud
  • Requires manual adjustment during seasonal coat changes
  • Limited to nylon aesthetics compared to leather options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your headcollar, place it over the horse's nose and then fasten the crown piece. Adjust the noseband buckle and headpiece strap until you can fit two fingers between the strap and the horse's face; this ensures the headcollar is secure but not restrictive.

For care, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush after daily use. If the headcollar becomes heavily soiled, soak it in warm water with a mild, non-detergent soap, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the nylon for fraying and ensure all metal buckles are free of rust to maintain long-term safety.
