FAQs
Is this head collar suitable for field turnout?
It is designed for daily handling, traveling, and stable use. It is not recommended for unsupervised turnout in fields where the collar could potentially snag on objects.
Does the head collar come in different sizes?
The Essence head collar features multiple adjustment points designed to accommodate a wide variety of horse head shapes and sizes within standard categories.
Can the hardware rust?
The head collar uses high-quality brushed metal fittings designed to be durable, but it should always be wiped dry after exposure to excessive moisture to prevent surface oxidation.
How do I ensure the head collar fits my horse correctly?
The headpiece should be adjusted symmetrically, and you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the noseband and the horse's nose.
Is the material machine washable?
We recommend hand washing with a damp cloth or sponge to maintain the structure and finish of the hardware.
Troubleshooting
Head collar feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the double pin buckles on the headpiece to redistribute the fit until it sits comfortably with appropriate clearance.
Trigger clip becomes stiff over time
Clear any debris or dried mud from the clip mechanism and apply a small amount of light silicone lubricant if necessary.
Excessive dirt accumulation
Gently hand wash the head collar in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the head collar, begin by loosening the buckles on the headpiece to their widest point. Place the noseband over the horse's muzzle and bring the headpiece over the ears, ensuring the throat lash sits comfortably under the jaw. Fasten the trigger clip and then adjust the double pin buckles on both sides of the headpiece to achieve an even, snug fit that allows for two fingers of clearance. To maintain the quality of the nylon and hardware, clean regularly with a damp sponge to remove mud and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; instead, rinse with clean water and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the soft shell material.
