FAQs

Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?

Yes, it is suitable for turnout, though owners should ensure the fit is correct so it does not catch on fences or bushes.

How do I determine the right size?

Measure the circumference of your horse's nose and crown; compare these against standard sizing charts provided by Shires for the Topaz range.

Can I machine wash the headcollar?

While hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the hardware, it can be placed in a wash bag on a gentle cycle if necessary.

What material is the padding made of?

The padding is designed to be soft and non-abrasive to prevent rubbing against the horse's skin.

Does the headcollar come with a lead rope?

No, the headcollar is sold as a standalone item and does not typically include a lead rope.

Troubleshooting

Buckles are stiff or difficult to adjust

Clear any dirt or grit from the buckle mechanism using a soft brush or compressed air.

Headcollar does not sit straight on the horse's face

Re-adjust the crownpiece and noseband equally to ensure the cheek pieces are centered.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable nylon material
  • Adjustable nose and head straps for a precise fit
  • Padded surfaces increase comfort and reduce friction
  • Easy-to-use throat lash clip

Cons

  • Nylon can become stiff over time if not cleaned
  • Not intended for heavy-duty tying if the horse is prone to pulling back
  • Limited to standard nylon hardware fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your headcollar, start by loosening the headband and noseband buckles. Place the headpiece over the horse's ears first, then bring the noseband over the bridge of the nose. Adjust the straps so there is enough space for the horse to move its jaw comfortably—usually, you should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and the horse's cheek. For care, it is recommended to regularly brush off dried mud from the nylon and hardware. If the headcollar becomes heavily soiled, soak it in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the nylon.
