KM Elite Rainbow Headcollar & Lead Rope Set XXS

KM Elite Rainbow Headcollar & Lead Rope Set – XXS

The smaller of the two rainbow sets we carry, in size XXS — the bracket KM Elite label Colt across their headcollar range. Headcollar and lead rope come together in the same multicoloured webbing, which is the practical reason for buying a set rather than two separate items.

KM Elite do not list this set on their own website and publish no specification for it: no webbing width, no hardware detail, no measurements. Rather than borrow figures from a retail listing, this page states what is known and leaves the rest plainly unstated.

Performance & Benefits

• Matching headcollar and lead rope in one purchase, in rainbow webbing.
• Size XXS, the second-smallest bracket in KM Elite's headcollar sizing and the one they label Colt.
• Bright enough to identify at a distance, which helps on a yard running several youngsters.
• A sensible spare to keep in a lorry or a grooming kit.
• Colourful without being a novelty item — it is an ordinary handling headcollar in a loud colourway.

Suitable For

• Foals, colts and yearlings at the size KM Elite call Colt.
• Small native ponies with a fine head.
• Early handling, leading lessons and short journeys.
• Yards wanting youngstock kit that is easy to tell apart.
• Too small for a pony that takes a Small Pony size — the XS set in the same rainbow range fits that bracket.

How to Use

• Fit the noseband two fingers below the cheekbone, with two fingers' clearance all round.
• Clip the lead rope to the ring under the jaw. Never clip a lead rope to a bit.
• Tie to a loop of breakable baler twine, not straight to a ring, a rail or a trailer.
• Check the webbing, stitching and clip before every use and retire it at the first sign of fraying.
• Hand wash in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat.

Specification

• KM Elite's headcollar sizes run XXXS (Shetland), XXS (Colt), XS (Small Pony), Small (Large Pony), Medium (Cob), Large (Full) and XL (XFull).
• Barcode 5060215372403.
• KM Elite publish no webbing width, hardware specification, material or measurement for this set, so none is stated here.
• No size chart with measurements is published for any headcollar in the KM Elite range.

Care & Caution

• This is not a breakaway headcollar. Anything that will not give can catch on a gate latch, a fence post or a hind shoe.
• Do not leave it on a pony turned out unsupervised — use a field-safe breakaway headcollar for that.
• Tie only to breakable twine, so a pony that sits back frees itself rather than fighting the rope.
• Never leave a lead rope clipped on and trailing. A loose pony can put a leg through it.
