FAQs
What material is the padding made of?
The padding is made of soft-touch fleece, designed for comfort and pressure relief.
How do I clean the headcollar and leadrope?
Hand wash in cool water with mild soap and allow to air dry completely. Avoid tumble drying.
Is this set suitable for all types of horses?
The set is designed for comfort and style for everyday use and training. It is available in cob and full sizes, making it suitable for a range of horses within those categories. For very specific or demanding equestrian disciplines, other specialized equipment might be more appropriate.
What makes the crown padding pressure-relieving?
The crown padding is wide and uses soft fleece material to distribute pressure more evenly across the horse's poll, reducing concentrated stress points.
Can I purchase matching items separately?
Yes, coordinating items are available to create a complete, stylish set.
What is the benefit of the double buckle crown?
The double buckle crown allows for a more customized and secure fit, accommodating variations in horse head shapes more effectively than a single buckle.
How do I attach the leadrope?
The leadrope attaches to the D-ring located at the bottom of the headcollar near the noseband, typically on the left side.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar appears too large or too small
Re-adjust the double buckle crown straps. Ensure you have selected the correct size (cob or full) for your horse. Refer to sizing guides if available or consult with experienced users.
Fleece padding showing signs of wear
Gently brush the fleece to remove debris. For minor matting, try teasing the fibers apart with your fingers. For significant wear, consider replacing the headcollar to ensure continued comfort and safety.
Trigger clip is stiff or not closing properly
Inspect the clip for dirt or debris. Clean with a soft brush. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant specifically designed for metal hardware can be applied sparingly, ensuring it does not transfer to the horse.
