How to Use
- Measure a head collar your horse already wears comfortably, from the throat buckle around the noseband, and compare it with the size you plan to order.
- Slip the noseband over the muzzle and pass the headpiece behind the ears.
- Fasten the throat buckle, keeping it clear of the throat and jaw.
- Adjust the straps so the noseband sits roughly two fingers below the cheekbone, with two fingers of room under the nose.
- Check the metal fittings and stitching before each use, and attach your lead rope to the ring beneath the jaw.
- After use, brush off mud, wipe clean with lukewarm water and mild soap, and dry naturally away from direct heat.
FAQ
What size head collar do I need?
Head collars are generally sold in pony, cob and full. Cob suits most average riding horses and chunkier ponies, full suits larger horses and warmbloods, and pony suits smaller natives and youngsters. Measuring an existing head collar is the most reliable check.
What is the HyCONIC Fleck Head Collar made from?
It is made from tough yet comfortable webbing with sturdy metal fittings and adjustable straps.
Is it suitable for turnout?
It is a standard webbing head collar rather than a breakaway design, so it is best suited to supervised handling, grooming and leading. If you turn out in a head collar, many yards prefer a breakaway or field-safe option.
Can it be used for leading and tying up?
Yes. The webbing and metal fittings are intended for everyday handling, including leading to and from the field and tying up for grooming and mucking out.
How do I clean it?
Brush off mud and dust, clean with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals.
How do I know when to replace it?
Check the stitching, webbing and metal fittings regularly and replace the head collar if you find fraying, stretched webbing or distorted hardware.
