FAQs

How do I measure my horse for the correct size?

Use a soft measuring tape. Measure the circumference of the horse's head, behind the ears, and the length from the poll to the muzzle.

Can I leave the headcollar on my horse all the time?

No, it's not recommended. Only use the headcollar when handling or leading your horse. Always supervise the horse while using the headcollar.

What is the best way to clean the headcollar?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry away from direct sunlight.

What if the headcollar breaks?

Discontinue use immediately and replace it with a new one. Inspect the headcollar regularly for signs of wear and tear.

Is the control headcollar suitable for young horses?

Yes, but introduce it gradually and ensure the horse is comfortable. Always supervise the horse during use, and ensure the correct fit.

Can I use this headcollar for tying my horse?

It is not recommended to tie a horse with this headcollar, as it may cause injury if the horse pulls back.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar seems too loose.

Readjust the headstall straps to ensure a snug fit. Check that the chin strap is correctly positioned.

Horse is uncomfortable or rubbing.

Check the fit and ensure it's not too tight. Make sure the headcollar is not rubbing against any sensitive areas. Consider using a padded headcollar if rubbing persists.

Headcollar is difficult to clip.

Ensure the clip is free of debris and that the throatlash is properly positioned. Try adjusting the headstall straps slightly.
