FAQs
How do I clean the Hy Equestrian Fieldsafe Headcollar?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the headcollar. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can damage the nylon material.
What is the purpose of the Velcro breakaway?
The Velcro breakaway is designed to release under pressure, reducing the risk of injury if the headcollar gets caught on an object.
How do I know if the headcollar fits my horse correctly?
The headcollar should fit snugly without being too tight. You should be able to slide two fingers between the headcollar and your horse's face.
Can I use this headcollar for tying my horse?
While the headcollar can be used for general handling, it is recommended to use a separate, more robust headcollar for tying to prevent accidental release.
How often should I inspect the headcollar?
Inspect the headcollar before each use and regularly for any signs of wear and tear, especially the Velcro and stitching.
What should I do if the Velcro breakaway fails?
If the Velcro breakaway fails to release, replace the headcollar to ensure the safety feature is functional.
Is this headcollar suitable for foals?
This headcollar is available in foal sizes. Always ensure a proper fit and monitor the foal closely.
Troubleshooting
Velcro is not releasing.
Check the Velcro for dirt or debris. Clean the Velcro and ensure it's properly aligned. If the Velcro is worn, replace the headcollar.
Headcollar is too loose.
Adjust the noseband and headstall to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the buckle is properly secured.
