Troubleshooting

Loosen both sides of the headpiece evenly and re-center the crown piece before tightening to ensure a symmetrical fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening all straps before placing the collar on the horse. Once positioned, adjust the noseband first to ensure it sits correctly—usually two fingers' width below the cheekbone—followed by the headpiece straps to balance the crown piece evenly. For care, gently wipe the satin surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. If the collar becomes heavily soiled, hand wash it in cool water with mild, horse-safe detergent and allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric's integrity.
