Troubleshooting
Head collar seems too small or too large
Fully adjust the webbing at the poll, cheek, and nose straps to achieve the correct pony size. If still ill-fitting, ensure you have the correct size head collar for your pony.
Brass fastenings are stiff or tarnished
Clean the brass fittings with a suitable brass cleaner or a paste of lemon juice and salt, then wipe clean and dry. Ensure the webbing is not obstructing the buckle mechanism.
Webbing appears frayed
Inspect the entire length of the webbing for damage. If significant fraying is present, discontinue use and replace the head collar for safety.
