Nylon Halter: Tough, Easy-Care Headcollars for Everyday Yard Life

Nylon Halter: no fuss, every day

A nylon halter is the all-round headcollar for the stable, the grooming area and the walk to the field. It is light, tough and easy to wash off. Here you will find models with fleece or faux fur padding, reflective headcollars for dark winter days, field headcollars with fly fringes, sets with a matching lead rope and small headcollars for mini Shetlands. A neck rope for groundwork completes the range.

Padding and extras

Padded headcollars with faux fur, neoprene or 3D material protect the poll and bridge of the nose, especially on horses with sensitive skin or a thin coat. Reflective strips make sure you and your horse are seen better in the dark, for example on the way to the field in winter. Fly fringes on the noseband keep annoying insects away from the eyes a little in summer. Diamanté or eye-catching colours turn the headcollar into a real statement piece.

Keeping safety in mind

Nylon is very tear-resistant. That is an advantage day to day, but it can become a risk if a horse gets caught on something. So do not leave a nylon headcollar on unsupervised in the field or stable. For tying up, it is best to use a rope with a panic snap. Check buckles and stitching regularly so nothing comes loose unnoticed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I wash a nylon headcollar?
Warm water with a little mild detergent and a brush is usually enough. Many headcollars can also go in the machine in a laundry bag, as long as there are no fleece or leather parts. Then let it dry in the air.

My horse has rubs from the headcollar, what should I do?
First check the fit, as the noseband is often too tight or too low. A padded headcollar with fleece or neoprene is gentler on the skin. If the patches do not heal, have your vet take a look.

Are field headcollars with fly fringes worth it?
They keep flies away from the eyes a little and are pleasant in summer when leading or tying up. For longer turnout, a fly mask is usually the better solution. Even a field headcollar should only be left on unsupervised if it has a breakaway point.
