KM Elite Headcollar Grey - Large

KM Elite Padded Headcollar – Grey, Large

Large is the Full fitting, cut for a horse rather than a cob, and grey is the colour that suits a yard where nobody wants to argue about colour schemes. It is neutral against a bay, a chestnut and a grey alike, and it does not go chalky the way a pale headcollar does after a few washes.

Underneath the colour it is the same build as the rest of the range: double- and triple-weave lined nylon webbing, a padded headpiece, a padded nosepiece and brass-colour clips including the throat clip. The padding is the point — it is what separates this from the thin nylon headcollar that came free with the horse.

Performance & Benefits

• Double- and triple-weave lined nylon webbing, noticeably heavier than the single-layer nylon used on most yard headcollars.
• Padded headpiece and padded nosepiece, spreading pressure over the two points that rub.
• Large (Full) is the standard horse fitting in a seven-size ladder.
• Brass-colour clips and hardware throughout, including the throat clip.
• Grey is neutral against any coat colour and does not discolour like pale webbing.
• Hand washable in warm water, air dried naturally.

Suitable For

• Horses of roughly 15hh and above.
• Daily catching, leading, grooming, travelling and vet or farrier visits.
• Yards standardising on one neutral colour.
• Horses that mark or rub under unpadded nylon.
• Too big for a cob — the Medium (Cob) fitting is the one for a broad, short head.

How to Use

• Buckle on the near side, with the noseband sitting about two fingers below the cheekbone.
• Adjust so two flat fingers fit between the noseband and the nose — any tighter and the padding cannot spread the pressure.
• Clip the lead rope to the ring under the jaw, not to a side ring.
• Hand wash in warm water and air dry naturally. KM Elite say not to tumble dry.

Care & Caution

• This is a standard nylon headcollar, not a breakaway one. The webbing and fittings will not part under load, so do not leave it on a horse turned out unsupervised — a fixed headcollar catches on fences, gateposts and hind shoes.
• Tie to a loop of breakable baler twine with a quick-release knot, never directly to a ring, gate or post.
• Check the stitching, buckle tongues and clip springs before each use and retire the headcollar once the webbing frays.
