FAQs
Is the HKM Catherine head collar suitable for turnout?
While it is durable, it is designed primarily for handling and transport. Using it for turnout may cause excessive wear to the satin fabric.
How do I wash the satin fabric?
Hand wash with a mild soap and a soft sponge, then hang to air dry completely.
Does this collar come with a lead rope?
No, the lead rope is sold separately.
Where is the padding located?
Padding is strategically placed on the noseband and the headpiece to prevent rubbing.
Can I adjust the fit on both sides?
Yes, this model features adjustable straps on both the headpiece and the noseband for a balanced, secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Buckles become stiff or hard to operate
Clean the hardware with a soft brush to remove dust and debris; apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Head collar slips or hangs too low
Adjust both sides of the headpiece and the noseband evenly to ensure the collar is centered on the horse's face.
Softopren padding shows signs of wear
Ensure the collar is stored in a clean, dry place and is not left under the horse's head on the ground where it can accumulate moisture.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of comfort due to softopren lining
- Easily adjustable at multiple points for a secure fit
- Sophisticated satin aesthetic
- Durable construction suitable for transport
Cons
- Satin material may be more susceptible to stains than plain nylon
- Pink color requires frequent cleaning to maintain brightness
- Not intended for turnout in muddy or harsh weather conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening all adjustment straps before placing the collar on your horse. Place the headpiece behind the ears and fasten the crown strap, then adjust the noseband until there is roughly two fingers' width of space between the nose and the band.
Care Instructions:
- Brush off dry dirt or stable dust after every use.
- For deeper cleaning, hand wash in warm, soapy water using a mild detergent.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the satin and softopren materials.
- Check buckles periodically to ensure they remain free of grit and operate smoothly.
