LeMieux Yard Breakaway Leather Headcollar Component 2 Pack
Description
LeMieux Yard Headcollar Leather Component - Breakaway Safety Part, 2 Pack
The LeMieux Yard Headcollar Leather Component is a leather replacement headpiece section, supplied in a pack of two, that turns a standard headcollar into a breakaway headcollar. It is designed for horse owners who tie up on the yard, in the stable or when travelling and want a designed weak point that gives way before nylon or webbing does.
Fit the leather component in place of the headpiece on any headcollar constructed from nylon reinforced leather, nylon or webbing. If your horse panics and pulls away hard, the leather is more likely to break than the nylon webbing, helping to protect both the horse and the fixings it is tied to. Browse more headcollars and lead ropes to complete your yard kit.

FAQ
What does a breakaway headcollar component do?
It creates a deliberate weak point in the headcollar. If the horse panics and pulls away hard, the leather is more likely to break than nylon webbing, releasing the horse rather than letting the pressure build.
Which headcollars does it fit?
It is designed to replace the headpiece on headcollars constructed from nylon reinforced leather, nylon or webbing. Check the buckle and strap arrangement on your headcollar before fitting.
How many pieces are in the pack?
Two. That lets you convert two headcollars, or fit one and keep a spare in the tack room.
Will it break too easily in normal use?
Leather is a strong material and copes with everyday handling, leading and tying. It is intended to break only under considerable force.
Does it come in different sizes for pony, cob or full headcollars?
It is supplied as a single component rather than in headcollar sizes, so check it against your existing headpiece length and adjust the headcollar buckles as needed.
How should I care for the leather?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth, dry naturally away from direct heat and apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the fibres supple. Replace the component if it shows cracking, stretching or wear.
