Equi-Sential Leather Headcollar with Brass Fittings
Description
Equi-Sential Leather Headcollar with Solid Brass Fittings
The Equi-Sential Leather Headcollar is a traditional leather head collar made with subtle leather and solid brass fittings, adjustable on both the noseband and the headstall. It is best for horse and pony owners who want a smart, classic headcollar for everyday yard jobs such as leading, grooming, tying up, in-hand work and turnout.
Because it adjusts in two places rather than one, it is easier to fit neatly on different head shapes than a fixed-noseband headcollar, and sizing is accurate so you can order the size your horse already wears.
Key Features
- Leather build: made with subtle leather for a traditional, understated look on the yard and in-hand
- Solid brass fittings: classic hardware for day-to-day handling
- Adjustable noseband: set the nose height and width so the headcollar sits clear of facial bone
- Adjustable headstall: balance the fit behind the ears and level the cheekpieces
- Accurate sizing: order your usual size with confidence
- Everyday versatility: suited to leading, grooming, tying up, travelling preparation and turnout

How to Use
- Check your horse's usual headcollar size before ordering, as sizing on this model is accurate.
- Stand at your horse's near side and slip the noseband over the nose, then pass the crown behind the ears and fasten.
- Adjust the headstall so the cheekpieces hang evenly and the throat area is not tight.
- Adjust the noseband so it sits roughly two fingers below the cheekbone, with about two fingers of room around the nose.
- Attach a lead rope and lead from the near side, keeping the rope folded rather than looped around your hand.
- Wipe the leather clean after use and condition regularly to keep it supple.

FAQ
What size headcollar should I order?
Sizing is accurate, so choose the size your horse or pony normally wears - pony, cob or full. If you are between sizes, measure from the corner of the mouth over the nose and back, then behind the ears, and compare with a headcollar that already fits.
Is this headcollar suitable for turnout?
It can be used for turnout, leading and yard work. Leather headcollars are often chosen for turnout because leather will give way under heavy strain, but any headcollar left on in the field should be checked regularly for fit and wear.
What are the fittings made from?
The fittings are solid brass, which gives the headcollar its traditional appearance.
Where does this headcollar adjust?
It adjusts on both the noseband and the headstall, allowing you to set the nose position and the height behind the ears independently.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe off mud and sweat with a damp cloth, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat, and apply a leather conditioner regularly. Dry the brass fittings after washing and store in a dry place.
Does it come with a lead rope?
The headcollar is supplied on its own. A lead rope clips to the ring beneath the jaw and is bought separately.
