FAQs

Can I leave this head collar on in the field?

While durable, it is recommended to monitor your horse if wearing a head collar in the field to ensure safety, especially regarding potential snagging.

How do I clean the silver fittings?

Use a soft, dry cloth to polish the hardware; avoid abrasive brushes that might scratch the finish.

Does this head collar come in different sizes?

The HKM Stars Economy line is adjustable, but specific sizes such as 'Full' or 'Shetland' are available for different breeds.

Is the material soft against the horse's skin?

Yes, the 'Softice' design focuses on providing a comfortable fit that reduces rubbing during routine wear.

What should I do if the strap starts to fray?

Small fraying can be carefully singed with a lighter to stop it from spreading, but if the integrity of the strap is compromised, the collar should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Snap clip is sticking or hard to open

Clear any debris or dried mud from the mechanism and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.

Head collar keeps sliding out of place

Re-adjust the buckle settings on both the headpiece and noseband to ensure a tighter, more symmetrical fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • User-friendly snap clip for quick daily use
  • Fully adjustable sizing for a secure fit
  • Durable hardware that resists daily wear and tear
  • Available in a variety of vibrant colours

Cons

  • Economy construction may show wear faster than professional-grade leather
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain material softness
  • Not intended for prolonged unsupervised turnout in abrasive environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your head collar, start by loosening the buckle on the headpiece and the noseband. Place the head collar over the horse's nose, then buckle the headpiece behind the ears, ensuring it is tight enough to prevent the horse from rubbing it off but loose enough to allow comfortable movement. Care is simple: wipe down the nylon and hardware with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt or sweat. If the collar becomes heavily soiled, it can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water; avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this may damage the silver-coloured fittings.
