FAQs

Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?

While durable, this is primarily designed for handling and stable use; it is recommended to monitor horses closely if wearing leather in a pasture environment.

How do I determine the right size?

The Equisential line comes in sizes including Full, Cob, Pony, and Foal. Measure your horse's crown and nose circumference to compare with standard size charts.

Can I use this headcollar in the rain?

Leather should be kept dry. If it gets wet, let it air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent shrinking or cracking.

Does the brass hardware rust?

Solid brass is rust-resistant, making it excellent for equestrian gear, though it may develop a patina over time that can be polished away.

Is the leather pre-oiled?

The leather comes in a factory-finished state and may benefit from an initial treatment of leather conditioner to enhance suppleness right out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Buckles are stiff or difficult to operate

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the strap holes and work the buckle back and forth to loosen the fibers.

Leather feels dry or brittle

Clean the leather thoroughly with a leather soap and apply a generous layer of leather oil or balm, allowing it to soak in overnight.

Brass fittings have become tarnished

Use a specialized brass polish or a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda on a soft cloth to restore the shine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable leather material
  • Sturdy solid brass hardware
  • Highly adjustable for a customized fit
  • Classic and professional appearance

Cons

  • Requires regular leather cleaning and conditioning
  • Not suitable for machine washing
  • Leather may be stiff initially before it breaks in

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your headcollar, start by loosening the buckle on the headstall to place it over the horse's ears. Once positioned, adjust the noseband buckle to ensure there is enough room for the horse to chew comfortably without the headcollar being too loose.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe away sweat, dirt, or mud after every use with a soft cloth.
  2. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
  3. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can crack and fade leather over time.
  4. Check brass fittings for any debris or oxidation and buff them with a dry cloth to maintain the shine.
