FAQs
Is the LeMieux Essence Head Collar safe for turnout?

Can I put this head collar in the washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to protect the brushed metal fittings and the integrity of the soft-shell outer.
What does the trigger clip do?
The trigger clip allows you to quickly undo the throat lash for faster removal of the halter.

Does it come in different sizes?

Troubleshooting
Buckles are stiff to operate
Check for debris or dirt inside the mechanism and rinse with warm water; apply a light lubricant if necessary.
Halter keeps slipping to one side
Adjust the headpiece buckles equally on both sides to re-center the crown strap.
Webbing appears frayed
Carefully singe any loose nylon threads with a lighter to stop further fraying, ensuring you do not burn the main webbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by loosening all adjustment points before placing the collar on the horse. Adjust the noseband first to ensure there is enough room for the horse to chew comfortably without being too loose, then balance the headpiece using the double pin buckles. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the head collar using mild soap and cool water to maintain the integrity of the soft-shell material. Wipe the brushed metal fittings with a dry cloth after use in wet conditions to preserve their finish and prevent long-term wear.
