Are the fittings made of real brass?
Yes, this headcollar features solid brass fittings known for their strength and resistance to rust.

Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or dry
Clean the leather with a specialized soap and apply a quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Buckles are becoming difficult to fasten
Check for debris inside the buckle mechanism and wipe with a soft cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup of the Mackey Equisential Headcollar begins with the initial fitting. Adjust the crown strap first to ensure the noseband sits comfortably across the horse's nose, approximately two fingers below the cheekbone. Next, refine the fit using the adjustable chin strap to prevent the headcollar from hanging too low.
For care, wipe the leather down with a damp cloth after use to remove sweat or dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to keep the material soft and prevent the leather from drying out. Store the headcollar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the leather and the shine of the brass fittings.
