KM Elite Headcollar Hot Pink Medium

KM Elite Padded Headcollar – Hot Pink, Medium (Cob)

KM Elite build this headcollar from double and triple weave lined nylon — a heavier, denser webbing than the single-layer nylon most yard headcollars use — and pad both the headpiece and the nosepiece so the cut edges of the webbing never sit against skin. Medium is their Cob fitting, the size that suits the majority of cob-types and heavier native ponies.

Hot Pink is a saturated, unmistakable pink rather than a pastel, which makes it easy to pick out on a rack in a shared tack room and easy to match to a KM Elite poly lead rope in the same shade. The brass-colour clips and fittings are identical across all eighteen colours in the range.

Performance & Benefits

• Double and triple weave lined nylon webbing, heavier and better finished than the single-layer nylon used on most yard headcollars.
• Padded headpiece and padded nosepiece — the two places a headcollar most often rubs.
• Brass-colour clips and fittings throughout, including the throat clip.
• Medium is KM Elite's Cob fitting, one rung of a seven-size ladder.
• One of eighteen colours KM Elite run, so a whole yard can be colour-coded.
• Hand washable in warm water, so it can go back on the horse the same day.

Suitable For

• Everyday catching, leading, tying up, grooming and the vet or farrier visit.
• Horses that rub or lose hair under thin, unpadded nylon headcollars.
• Yards colour-coding headcollars so each horse has its own.
• Pairing with a KM Elite 6ft Poly Lead Rope in a matching or contrasting colour.
• Too big for a Shetland or a small pony — the KM Elite Padded Headcollar in XXXS (Shetland) is the fitting for those.

How to Use

• Buckle on the near side, with the noseband sitting roughly two fingers below the cheekbone.
• Adjust so two fingers lie flat between the noseband and the nose — tighter than that and the padding cannot do its job.
• Clip the lead rope to the ring under the jaw rather than to a side ring.
• Hand wash in warm water and air dry naturally. Do not 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 can catch on a fence, a gatepost or a hind shoe.
• Tie to a loop of breakable baler twine rather than directly to a solid ring or post.
• Check the stitching, buckle tongues and clip springs before each use, and retire the headcollar once the webbing frays.
