FAQs

Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?

Yes, it is designed for durability, but always ensure it fits correctly to avoid it getting caught on stable or field hazards.

Can I machine wash the Shires Topaz?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the hardware and padding; if machine washing is necessary, use a wash bag on a delicate, cold cycle.

How do I know which size to choose?

Measure your horse's crown length and nose circumference to compare against standard sizing charts for Shires headcollars.

Does this headcollar include a lead rope?

No, this product is for the headcollar only; lead ropes are typically sold separately.

Will the nylon fade over time?

Like all synthetic materials, exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods may lead to slight color fading, though this does not affect functionality.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar is rubbing the horse's skin.

Adjust the fit to ensure it is not too tight and verify that the padding is correctly positioned against the pressure points.

Throat clip is difficult to open or close.

Clear any debris or dried mud from the hinge mechanism and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.

Nylon webbing is stiff or dirty.

Soak the headcollar in warm water with mild detergent, scrub gently with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adjustable components for a precise fit
  • Soft padding reduces the risk of rubs or sores
  • Easy-to-use throat clip for quick handling
  • Durable nylon material suitable for daily wear

Cons

  • Nylon can become stiff if left caked in mud
  • Requires regular checks for signs of fraying
  • Limited to specific colorways depending on size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the headcollar, first adjust the headband to ensure the crown piece sits comfortably behind the ears without pulling forward. Adjust the noseband to allow enough room for the horse to move its jaw comfortably. For cleaning, hand wash the headcollar in warm, soapy water to remove sweat, dirt, and hair. Ensure it is completely air-dried away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can weaken nylon fibers over time. Regularly check all hardware, including buckles and the throat clip, to ensure they remain free of rust and operate smoothly.
