FAQs

What is the purpose of the Shires Control Headcollar?

The headcollar provides additional control during handling and leading by applying gentle pressure to the muzzle, encouraging the horse to yield.

How does the headcollar work?

It applies pressure to the muzzle when the horse pulls. The pressure releases when the horse stops pulling, encouraging lighter behavior.

What sizes are available?

The headcollar comes in Pony, Cob, Full, and Extra Full sizes.

How should I clean the headcollar?

Clean the headcollar regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat.

Can this headcollar replace proper training?

No. The control headcollar is a tool to aid in training, not a replacement for it.

What should I do if my horse resists or pulls?

Check the fit, use gentle pressure, and consult with a trainer if necessary.

How do I attach a lead rope?

Attach the lead rope to the ring under the chin.

Troubleshooting

Horse is resisting or pulling excessively.

Check the fit of the headcollar. Ensure the size is correct and adjusted properly. Use gentle, consistent pressure. Consider seeking guidance from a professional trainer.

Fittings are damaged or broken.

Discontinue use immediately. Replace the headcollar with a new one.

Webbing is frayed or worn.

Discontinue use. Replace the headcollar.

Cons

Requires proper fitting to ensure the pressure is applied correctly and comfortably.
May not be suitable for all horses, especially those with certain behavioral issues.
Overuse or misuse could potentially cause discomfort if not used gently.
Not a replacement for proper training; it's a tool to aid in training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sizing: Ensure you select the correct size (Pony, Cob, Full, Extra Full) for your horse. Refer to the size chart if available.
Fitting: Adjust the headcollar to fit snugly but comfortably on your horse. The noseband should sit correctly on the muzzle.
Attachment: Attach the lead rope to the ring under the chin.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with standard lead ropes. Avoid attaching the lead rope to the side rings, as this may not provide the intended effect and can cause discomfort.
Care: Clean the headcollar regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Store in a dry, clean place when not in use. Check the webbing and fittings periodically for wear and tear; replace the headcollar if any damage is found.
