Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Breakaway Vogue Headcollar is an essential choice for horse owners prioritizing safety and equine comfort during turnout. Designed with integrated breakaway points to release under extreme pressure, it significantly reduces the risk of injury in emergency situations. While the nylon construction is highly durable and practical for field use, users should regularly inspect the breakaway sections to ensure they remain functional and haven't been prematurely worn or triggered.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the breakaway system?

The breakaway system is designed to snap under intense pressure, allowing the horse to free itself if it gets stuck, thereby preventing potential neck or facial injuries.

Is the headcollar suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes, the neoprene padding on the nose and poll, along with the lined cheek pieces, is specifically designed to minimize friction and rubbing.

Can I leave this headcollar on for 24/7 turnout?

While the safety features make it suitable for turnout, it is recommended to inspect the equipment daily for wear and ensure it fits correctly to prevent pressure sores.

How do I know if the headcollar fits correctly?

There should be enough space for two fingers between the noseband and the horse's nose, and the headpiece should not be pulling the ears forward.

Does it come in different sizes?

The headcollar is highly adjustable; however, ensure you select the correct size category (e.g., Cob or Full) to match your horse's head size.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar feels too loose after adjustment

Ensure the pin is securely locked into the appropriate hole on the headpiece and check if the noseband strap needs further tightening.

Breakaway tab appears damaged

Do not attempt to repair the tab; purchase a replacement breakaway component immediately to maintain the safety functionality.

Padding is accumulating dirt

Gently scrub the neoprene padding with a soft brush and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly to prevent skin irritation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety features prevent potential injuries during entanglement
  • Superior comfort provided by soft neoprene padding
  • Customizable fit for various horse head shapes
  • Quick-drying material is easy to maintain in outdoor environments
  • Included leadrope offers immediate value

Cons

  • Breakaway parts may require replacement after significant strain
  • Requires periodic inspection to ensure mechanical integrity
  • Nylon can be less breathable than leather in extreme heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, start by loosening all straps before placing the headcollar on your horse. Once positioned, adjust the headpiece and noseband to ensure the noseband sits two fingers below the cheekbone. The headcollar should be snug but not restrictive.

Compatibility: This headcollar is designed for standard equine sizing.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly check the breakaway tabs for signs of wear or cracking.
  • Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove mud and sweat after use.
  • For a deep clean, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap and air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the nylon and padding.
