FAQs
Is the HKM Stars Economy Softice machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash with a mild soap and water to protect the hardware and the integrity of the material.
How do I choose the right size?
Always refer to the specific measurement guidelines provided by HKM, as 'Full' or 'Shetland' sizing can vary by model.
Does the silver hardware rust?
The fittings are designed for durability, but regular drying after contact with moisture will prevent oxidation.
Can this be used for turnout?
While durable, head collars should generally be used under supervision to ensure safety.
Is the material waterproof?
The nylon construction is water-resistant, but it should be dried after heavy rain to maintain its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Snap clip is sticking or hard to open
Clean the hinge of the snap clip with a light lubricant or warm soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
Head collar keeps loosening
Ensure the strap is threaded correctly through the buckle teeth; if the issue persists, check the adjustment holes for signs of stretching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your head collar, start by adjusting the crown piece and noseband while the collar is off the horse to ensure it is not too tight or too loose. Once placed, check that there is enough space to fit two fingers between the leather or nylon and the horse's cheek. For care, keep the hardware free of excessive dirt and moisture. After use in wet conditions, wipe the nylon material down with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material fatigue.
