Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Padded Headcollar is a premium nylon headcollar designed for horse owners who prioritize equine comfort during daily handling, training, or travel. Its primary benefit is the specialized soft padding on the headpiece and nosepiece that protects sensitive skin from rubbing, though it is important to note that consistent care is required to keep the padding clean and effective over time.

FAQs
Is the padding suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the padding is designed to reduce pressure, but you should check the fit daily to ensure the headcollar is not causing excessive heat or moisture buildup.
Can I machine wash this headcollar?
Hand washing is recommended to protect the brass hardware and maintain the shape of the padded components.
Will the brass clips rust if left outside?
The headcollar uses high-quality brass, which is highly resistant to corrosion, though regular cleaning is still recommended to maintain performance.
Is this suitable for a horse with very sensitive skin?
Yes, the specific inclusion of soft padding on the nose and poll is designed specifically to prevent rubbing in sensitive areas.
Does the headcollar come in different sizes?
This model is designed for standard horse sizing, utilizing adjustable straps to accommodate different head shapes.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar rubbing despite padding
Check the fit of the headcollar; it may be adjusted too tightly, increasing pressure on the padded areas.
Brass clips are sticking or difficult to open
Clean the clips with a damp cloth to remove dried mud or grit, and if necessary, use a small amount of non-toxic lubricant.
Padding looks flattened or matted
Brush the padding gently with a soft brush to restore the loft of the fibers after washing.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, adjust the side cheek pieces and the noseband so the headcollar sits comfortably without pressing against the horse's cheekbones. Always ensure at least two fingers can fit between the noseband and the bridge of the nose.
Care Instructions:
- Periodically check the nylon webbing and brass clips for signs of wear.
- Hand wash the headcollar using a mild, horse-safe detergent to preserve the integrity of the padding.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, which can cause skin irritation.
- Allow to air dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the nylon from becoming brittle.
