Full details
The KM Elite Padded Headcollar is designed for horse owners who prioritize both equine comfort and daily functional reliability. By utilizing a durable nylon construction paired with soft padding on the head and nosepiece, it significantly reduces the risk of rubbing, making it an ideal choice for regular handling and turnout. While its professional aesthetic makes it suitable for shows, users should note that as a nylon product, it requires consistent hand-washing to maintain its pristine blue appearance over time.

FAQs
Can I leave this headcollar on 24/7?
While the headcollar is padded for comfort, it is generally recommended to remove headcollars when horses are turned out in the field for extended periods to prevent accidents.
Is this headcollar suitable for a draft horse?
This headcollar is designed for standard horse sizes. Please measure your horse's current headcollar to ensure compatibility with our sizing.
Can I machine wash the headcollar?
It is recommended to hand-wash the product to preserve the integrity of the hardware and the longevity of the padding.
Does the blue color fade?
Like all nylon products, extended exposure to intense UV sunlight may cause slight fading over time.
What should I do if the padding gets wet?
Allow it to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid using heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar feels too stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly to remove soap residue that can cause stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the buckles on the headpiece and noseband so that the headcollar sits comfortably without restricting the horse's breathing or jaw movement. Ensure the padding is centered correctly for maximum effect. For care, avoid machine washing to prevent hardware damage; instead, soak the headcollar in warm water with a mild detergent and scrub gently with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to dry. This routine prevents the nylon from becoming stiff and keeps the padding hygienic.
