FAQs
How should I clean the padding?
Hand wash the headcollar in warm water with a gentle detergent and allow it to air dry naturally.
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
Yes, the robust nylon construction is designed for durability, though you should always ensure the fit is correct to avoid potential snags.
What does double and triple weave nylon mean?
It refers to the layering of the nylon threads, which increases the material's tensile strength and resistance to fraying.
Will the padding cause the horse to sweat?
The padding is designed to be breathable, but ensure it is not fitted too tightly to allow for proper airflow around the nose and poll.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the item to protect the integrity of the padding and the hardware finish.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar feels too stiff
Soak the headcollar in lukewarm water to soften the nylon weave, then work the material with your hands before the final drying process.
Clips are difficult to open
Apply a small amount of non-toxic lubricant or silicon spray to the spring mechanism of the brass-coloured clips to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your headcollar, start by adjusting the buckles to fit your horse's specific head shape, ensuring that the padded sections sit flush against the poll and nasal bone without being overly tight. Compatibility is broad, as the headcollar fits standard leads, though it is designed specifically for use with KM Elite style fittings. Maintenance is straightforward: to clean the nylon and padding, use warm water and a mild detergent. Always hand wash the item to prevent the internal padding foam from losing its structure, and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to prevent the nylon from becoming brittle.
