FAQs
Can this head collar be used for turn-out?
This head collar is primarily designed for leading, grooming, and travel. It does not feature a safety breakaway system, so it is not recommended for unsupervised turn-out.
How do I choose the right size?
LeMieux offers specific sizing options such as Pony and Cob; measure your horse's crown circumference and nose circumference to compare against standard size charts.
Is the nylon material prone to fraying?
The collar is made from high-quality, durable webbing designed to resist fraying under normal usage conditions.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
We recommend hand-washing to protect the brushed metal fittings and prevent damage to the washing machine drum.
What is the benefit of the double pin buckle?
The double pin buckle allows for more precise adjustment and ensures the headpiece is balanced, which prevents the collar from pulling to one side.
Troubleshooting
Buckles are difficult to slide through the nylon holes
Ensure the nylon holes are not obstructed by dried mud or hair. Use a small, blunt tool to clear debris.
Head collar appears uneven on the horse's face
Adjust the headpiece using the double pin buckles on both sides to balance the noseband position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your LeMieux Essence Head Collar, begin by adjusting the headpiece buckles on both sides to ensure the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone without restricting breathing. The curb strap should be adjusted so the throat lash sits clear of the horse's cheekbones. For care, wipe the nylon webbing with a damp cloth to remove dirt and stable dust. If the collar becomes heavily soiled, it can be hand-washed in mild, soapy water. Always allow the collar to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the nylon and the finish on the brushed metal hardware. Periodically check all rivets and buckle tongues for signs of wear to ensure continued safety.
