FAQs
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
Yes, it is designed for durability; however, always ensure the fit is correct to minimize the risk of the horse snagging on objects in the field.
Can I put this headcollar in the washing machine?
While durable, hand washing is recommended to extend the life of the metal hardware and maintain the shape of the nylon webbing.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your horse's head and cross-reference with standard sizing guides for your specific breed or pony type.
Does the anti-chafe padding lose its softness over time?
With proper care and cleaning, the padding will maintain its cushioning properties, though heavy use and exposure to elements may naturally wear the material over several years.
What should I do if the nylon becomes frayed?
If you notice significant fraying, it is recommended to replace the headcollar to ensure the safety and security of your horse while handling.
Troubleshooting
The headcollar feels too tight or too loose after adjustment.
Re-adjust the buckle positions on both the noseband and the headband to ensure symmetrical tension, ensuring at least two fingers can fit between the noseband and the horse's face.
The throat clip is becoming difficult to open.
Check the clip mechanism for dirt, grit, or salt buildup. Rinse with clean water and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to keep the spring mechanism moving freely.
The padding is attracting dirt and hair.
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and debris daily, and perform a deeper hand-wash with mild detergent when the padding becomes matted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening all adjustment points before placing the headcollar over the horse's head. Buckle the throat lash and adjust the headband so that the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone, approximately two fingers width below the cheekbone. The noseband should allow enough room for the horse to chew comfortably without being so loose that it poses a snagging hazard.
For care, hand wash the nylon in warm water with a mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the webbing. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the stitching and metal buckles for signs of rust or fraying, especially if the headcollar is used during wet weather conditions.
