FAQs

Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?

Yes, it is durable enough for turnout, though it is recommended to ensure the fit is correct so it does not catch on fences or branches.

How do I know which size to buy?

Shires offers various sizes ranging from Extra Small Pony to Extra Full. Measure your horse's current headcollar to compare dimensions.

Does the ARMA plate rust?

The fittings are designed for durability, but regular cleaning and drying after use in wet weather will help prevent corrosion.

Can I replace the hardware if a clip breaks?

While the fittings are high quality, they are integrated into the web. If a clip fails, it is recommended to replace the headcollar for safety.

Is the nylon webbing weather-resistant?

Yes, the nylon material is designed to handle outdoor conditions, but it should be stored in a dry place when not in use to extend its life.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar fits too loosely on the nose

Adjust the noseband buckle to a tighter hole and ensure the crown piece is positioned correctly behind the ears.

Padding feels stiff or dirty

Soak the headcollar in a bucket of mild detergent and water for 30 minutes, scrub the padding with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly.

Clip-on throatlash is difficult to operate

Clear any debris or mud from the clip mechanism and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if the spring action is stiff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft padding prevents rubbing on sensitive skin
  • High-visibility color options for easy identification
  • Heavy-duty hardware offers superior durability
  • Fully adjustable sizing for a custom fit

Cons

  • Bright colors may show dirt and stains more easily
  • Requires regular washing to keep padding soft
  • Not intended for heavy-duty break-away emergency use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your headcollar, start by loosening the side buckles on both the noseband and the headpiece. Place the headcollar over the horse's head and adjust the crown piece until the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone, ensuring it is neither too tight nor too low. Periodically check that the padding is clean; to care for the material, hand wash the headcollar in warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent nylon degradation. Avoid machine washing with abrasive cycles to protect the integrity of the chunky fittings and the ARMA plate.
