FAQs
Is the head collar machine washable?
While hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fittings and padding, it can be hand-washed in lukewarm water with mild detergent.
Can I leave this head collar on in the field?
This head collar is primarily designed for handling and tying. If used in the field, ensure it fits correctly, but note that it does not feature a specific breakaway safety mechanism.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, the HKM Stars Economy range generally follows standard sizing, but the adjustable straps allow for fine-tuning based on the specific horse's head profile.
What material is the head collar made from?
It is constructed from high-quality, durable nylon that is resistant to both dirt and water.
Are replacement parts available for the buckles?
The head collar is designed as a complete unit; for best safety results, replace the entire head collar if any buckle or strap becomes compromised.
Troubleshooting
Snap clip is sticking or hard to open
Clean the area around the spring mechanism with a damp brush to remove accumulated dirt or bedding and apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Head collar feels too tight or too loose after adjustment
Re-check the buckle alignment and ensure the strap is fed through all keepers to prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the head collar, adjust the crown and noseband buckles to achieve a fit where two fingers can comfortably slide between the strap and the horse's face. Regularly check the snap clip mechanism to ensure it is free of bedding or dirt that could interfere with the spring action. To clean, wipe down the nylon straps with a damp cloth or sponge. For a deeper clean, the head collar can be rinsed in mild soapy water and left to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the nylon fibers over time.
