FAQs
Is this collar safe for unsupervised turnout?
Yes, it is designed for field use with a safety breakaway point that releases if the horse gets caught.
Can the touch tape be replaced?
If the touch tape becomes worn out, it is recommended to replace the head collar to ensure the safety mechanism functions correctly.
How do I wash the head collar?
Hand wash with mild soap and water, then hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Is the nylon waterproof?
The nylon is durable and resistant to water, but it should be dried thoroughly after saturation to maintain material integrity.
Will this fit a miniature horse?
The head collar is designed for foals and small ponies. We recommend measuring the nose and crown circumference to verify fit against your specific pony.
Troubleshooting
Touch tape keeps opening prematurely
Ensure the touch tape surfaces are free of hair and debris, and press firmly to re-engage the fastening.
Buckle is stiff or difficult to open
Apply a small amount of non-toxic silicone lubricant to the buckle mechanism and work it in.
Head collar appears to be rubbing the nose
Check the fit; if too tight, loosen the noseband adjustment to ensure proper clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the head collar, begin by loosening the single-buckle headpiece to its widest setting. Place the head collar over the nose first, then secure the headpiece behind the ears. Adjust the noseband for a comfortable fit—you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the noseband and the bridge of the nose. To maintain the nylon material, rinse off dried mud with water and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Regularly check the touch tape breakaway point for any debris or wear, and wipe the metal buckle with a dry cloth to prevent oxidation.
