FAQs
What material is the HV Polo Nena Head Collar made of?
The head collar is primarily made of durable polyester, with soft neoprene padding for added comfort on the noseband and cheek straps.
How do I clean the head collar?
You can wipe it clean with a damp cloth for daily cleaning. For a more thorough clean, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely.
Is this head collar suitable for ridden work?
The Nena Head Collar is designed for stable activities, handling, and grooming. It is not intended as a primary piece of tack for ridden work.
How adjustable is the head collar?
It features a fully adjustable headpiece and a fully adjustable noseband, allowing for a customizable and secure fit for many horses.
What does the 'brand logo tape' refer to?
This refers to the distinctive HV Polo branding that is incorporated as tape along the cheek straps and the noseband of the head collar.
Can this head collar be used on a foal?
While this specific variant is for general use, HV Polo often offers different sizes. Please check for specific foal or pony sizes if available, as this model may not be suitable for very young or small equines without confirmation of sizing.
What is the main benefit of the neoprene padding?
The soft neoprene padding enhances comfort by reducing pressure points and preventing chafing, especially during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Head collar seems too tight or too loose
Re-adjust the headpiece and noseband straps using the buckles. Ensure you can fit two fingers between the head collar and the horse's skin for a proper fit.
Horse shows signs of discomfort (e.g., rubbing, pulling away)
Check the fit again. Ensure padding is correctly positioned and not bunched. Verify that no straps are twisted or pinching. Consider if a different size might be needed if the adjustability is maxed out.
Dirt or debris affecting the functionality of buckles
Clean the buckles and strap ends with a damp cloth or a small brush to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HV Polo Nena Head Collar is designed for immediate use. To fit, open all buckles on the adjustable straps. Place the head collar over the horse's head, ensuring the crown piece sits comfortably behind the ears. Fasten the clips or buckles. Adjust the headpiece and noseband using the buckles until a snug but comfortable fit is achieved. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the head collar and the horse's face or neck.
Compatibility: This head collar is suitable for most horse breeds and sizes, particularly those that benefit from extra padding. The adjustable nature makes it versatile for different head shapes. It is primarily intended for stable use, grooming, and handling.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the Nena Head Collar, clean it regularly. Wipe down the polyester webbing and neoprene padding with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the head collar to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and the logo tape.
