FAQs

Is this headcollar machine washable?

While it is made of durable nylon, we recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the buckles and padding.

Can this headcollar be left on in the field?

This headcollar does not have a breakaway feature. It is recommended primarily for supervised use, such as leading or grooming.

How do I know which size to choose?

Measure the circumference of your horse's nose and the distance over the poll from one cheek piece to the other to compare against standard size charts.

Does the color fade over time?

The high-quality nylon is dyed for color fastness, though prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight may lead to minor fading over several seasons.

What is the material made of?

The headcollar is constructed from high-tensile nylon webbing with soft padding inserts.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar is rubbing the horse's face

Check the fit of the noseband and headband to ensure they are not too tight, and inspect the anti-chafe padding for debris or hardened dirt.

Buckles are difficult to slide

Clean the buckles of any dried mud or sand and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Headcollar is too large or too small

Ensure you are using the correct size for your horse's breed and age; the Shires Topaz range offers specific sizing options to accommodate different head proportions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adjustable nose and head pieces for a customized fit
  • Soft padding reduces the risk of skin irritation
  • Strong and reliable nylon material
  • Easy to put on and remove with the throat lash clip
  • Available in a variety of colors to match your tack

Cons

  • Not a breakaway design, which may be a consideration for pasture use
  • Nylon can become stiff if not cleaned after heavy mud exposure
  • Padding may retain water if left outside in rainy conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your headcollar, start by loosening the headband and noseband buckles. Place the headcollar over the horse's nose, pass the headpiece behind the ears, and fasten the throat lash clip. Adjust the straps so that two fingers can comfortably slide between the noseband and the bridge of the horse's nose. To maintain the life of the nylon, rinse off sweat and dirt after use. If the headcollar becomes heavily soiled, hand wash it in warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the stitching and buckles for signs of wear to ensure continued safety.
