Horse Headcollars

Horse headcollars are key pieces of horse tack for the daily handling of your horse or pony. Whether you need a head collar for leading, tying, or grooming, horse headcollars are essential for every horse wardrobe. Head collars for horses can be made of leather or synthetic materials to suit your requirements and are available in a wide range of colors and designs, including fleece padded headcollars, nylon headcollars, and anatomical headcollars. Headcollars for horses are usually available in a range of sizes including small pony, pony, cob, full, or extra full to help you achieve the perfect fit.

Types of Headcollars for Horses

Leather Headcollars

Leather headcollars have traditionally been used for traveling or for leaving on horses in the field, as the leather will usually snap under pressure in the event the horse becomes stuck. Nowadays, there are specific safety headcollars for traveling and for use in the field to help keep your horse safe. Leather headcollars are durable, and stylish, and provide a secure fit for your horse. Leather headcollars have been modernized and are now available with anatomical headpieces and nosepieces.

Fieldsafe & Travel Headcollars

Fieldsafe head collars feature a safety mechanism designed to snap under pressure if the horse gets stuck in the horse trailer or lorry. These safety headcollars have a breakaway point made from leather or Velcro to ensure your horse can free itself if trapped. The Equilibrium Stellar Headcollar is a customer-favorite travel headcollar, thanks to its smart appearance and quick-release safety mechanism.

Similarly, fieldsafe headcollars ensure your horse can easily release itself should it get stuck on fences or trees in the field. They also feature a Velcro or leather breakaway point for quick detachment if the horse becomes trapped. We recommend them for wear during turnout and use with grazing muzzles to keep your horse safe.

Control Halters

Control halters are headcollars made of thin rope material, often with knots at key pressure points. These halters can help with training young horses on groundwork and leading, and they are also useful for more experienced horses. Control halters are useful for loading horses, but it's safer to use a travel-safe halter when traveling. Never tie your horse with a control halter unless supervised.

LeMieux Headcollars

LeMieux offers a wide range of anatomical leather headcollars, fleece headcollars, control headcollars, and LeMieux mini headcollars for small ponies. LeMieux headcollars are perfect if you like to match your horse to the LeMieux color collections each season, combining style and comfort for the ultimate fit. The LeMieux headcollar and lead rope sets are particularly popular for their coordinated appearance and high-quality materials.

Shopping for Horse Headcollars

When shopping for headcollars, consider the specific needs of your horse. A padded headcollar can offer extra comfort, while a rope halter can be useful for training. Check the size guide to ensure the correct headcollar fit. Customer service can provide additional assistance if needed. Remember, a quality head collar ensures both safety and comfort for your horse.

Whether you need a headcollar and lead rope set, a leather headcollar for show, or a safety headcollar for everyday use, there are many options available to suit your horse's needs.
