Full details
The KM Elite Padded Headcollar is designed for horse owners who prioritize equine comfort during daily handling, grooming, or training.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes, the inclusion of soft padding on the head and nosepiece is specifically designed to alleviate pressure and prevent rubbing on sensitive skin.
What is the best way to clean the nylon?
Hand wash with mild detergent and warm water, then hang it up to air dry.
Will the brass hardware rust?
Brass is corrosion-resistant, but it may develop a natural patina or oxidize over time if not wiped clean occasionally.
Can I leave this headcollar on in the pasture?
While durable, it is recommended primarily for handling and stable use to keep the padding clean and prevent snagging.
How do I choose the right size?
The medium size is specifically designed for cob-sized horses; consult the manufacturer's size guide for measurements if you are between sizes.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar feels too stiff
Soak the nylon in lukewarm water to soften the fibers, then flex the webbing manually.
Brass hardware is sticking
Clear any dirt or dried mud from the clip mechanism and apply a light silicone-based lubricant.
Padding is collecting hair/dirt
Use a soft-bristled curry comb or a stiff brush to gently remove accumulated hair from the cushioned areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a perfect fit, adjust the headpiece buckles evenly to balance the noseband. The nylon material is durable but should be kept clean to maintain the integrity of the padding. To clean, soak the headcollar in warm water with a mild, horse-safe detergent, scrub gently with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly. Allow the headcollar to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to prevent the nylon from becoming brittle. Periodically check the brass clips to ensure they are free of debris, as grit can cause the springs within the clips to seize over time.
