Official description

First impressions

This headcollar has a really lovely soft and padded headpiece and noseband. 

Overview of performance

We had a full size, which was adjustable and fitted all the horses. This was a nice headcollar and did its job, lasting really well. It looks smart, but I prefer leather for shows so this made it a go-to at-home headcollar. It had good catches — previously I’ve found some this style before to break, but these ones have stood the test of time so far. Despite continued daily use, it has stayed looking good and the stitching has remained in good condition.

Sam’s likes and dislikes

This headcollar did its job, has stayed in great condition and was fantastic value for money — it’s hard to fault.

Verdict

*H&H APPROVED* A great value everyday headcollar that looks smart and does the job.
