FAQs

Is this collar suitable for turnout?

No, leather head collars are generally not recommended for turnout as they do not break as easily as nylon options in case of emergency.

How do I choose the right size?

The collar is available in Full and Cob sizes; choose based on your horse's specific head measurements and breed type.

Can I use this for lunging?

While it can be used for leading, it is best to use a specialized lunge cavesson for lunging to avoid excess pressure on the horse's face.

What should I do if the leather gets wet?

Allow the collar to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then apply leather conditioner once fully dry.

How often should I clean the collar?

Wipe it down after every use and perform a deeper conditioning clean at least once a month.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or oil to restore moisture and flexibility.

Buckles are difficult to fasten

Clean any dirt or grit out of the buckle mechanisms and ensure the leather tongue is aligned properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant Carlotta design aesthetic
  • Enhanced comfort via padded headpiece
  • Highly adjustable for a custom fit
  • Durable leather material

Cons

  • Requires leather-specific care products
  • Leather may stiffen if not maintained
  • Not suitable for turnout due to potential snag risks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Carlotta collar, start by buckling the noseband to fit comfortably without restricting the horse's breathing. Adjust both sides of the headpiece evenly to ensure the browband sits correctly. For care, wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks to prevent cracking and keep the material supple. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
