Troubleshooting
Headcollar does not fit evenly
Adjust the twin pin buckle on the headpiece first, then balance the adjustment using the noseband and curb straps.
Breakaway sections separating prematurely
Ensure the hook-and-loop material is free from dirt and hay; press firmly along the entire surface to re-engage the grip.
Nylon straps showing signs of stiffness
Soak the headcollar in warm water with a mild equine-safe soap and rinse thoroughly to remove grit that causes stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening all adjustment points before placing the headcollar on the horse. Adjust the noseband and cheek pieces first to ensure the headcollar sits comfortably, avoiding pressure on the sensitive nasal bone. Secure the twin pin buckle at the headpiece and ensure the breakaway sections are firmly pressed together to keep the headcollar intact during normal use. For maintenance, rinse the nylon under cool water to remove mud or sweat. If the neoprene becomes heavily soiled, use a gentle detergent and air dry away from direct heat to maintain material integrity. Regularly inspect the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure they remain free of hair, dirt, and debris to guarantee the breakaway feature functions as intended.
