Has anyone bought a really nice headcollar recently? I'm after a synthetic one to replace a broken one as I don't like to use the leather one when it's peeing down with rain. Cob size.

I really like this one

It comes in two other colours too, if you don't like the pink

I do like that. It would look fab on my grey. Could I get away with it on a chestnut though, or would my eyes bleed?

I think the blue would look nice on a chestnut

I do love autocorrect, it comes up with some really bizarre things! 'Shaving up' LOL!
Ooooh fluffy!

Yes, the blue would be nice on the gingers.
I like both of those. Why am I so hopeless at deciding?

That one does come in blue too. TBH if I was looking at a new headcollar I'd go on this page and look through all of them: https://www.kramer.co.uk/Nylon-Headcollars.htm?websale8=kraemer-pferdesport.47-GB&ci=261926

I have just bought the royal blue km elite padded head collar for my new chestnut lad and he is definately of the orangeade colouring.

Are you pleased with the quality? I've not had a KM one before.

Pleased with quality of stitching and buckles and that it has an adjustable nose band so ok for dentist visits. Longevity I can't comment on as I only purchased at Burghley horse trials but I purchased it from Wychanger saddlery who were doing a deal on head collar and matching lead rope so it might be worth seeing if they are doing a good deal on line.

Thank you. That's a good, positive review.
I think that blue is the way forwards, I just need to decide which make to go for.

KM elite headcollars are brilliant. Chilli has had hers since I've had her. Lasted daily use and being a bit abused for over a year and still going very strong! Looks nearly new. Love it!

I only ever buy Shires as I like the noseband that unbuckles as it's very handy for putting bridles on and off whilst still having the head collar on. It also has the throat bit that unclips and the headpiece that unbuckles. There inexpensive and great for everyday use.

Why do they all have a hanging ring at the bottom? I hate this and think its really dangerous - so easy for them to catch it on things.
I spend all my time looking for 'old fashioned' rings at the bottom.

Yes the continental style headcollars are much easier to find these days than what I guess is the old English style. I do have a Cottage Craft one that adjusts on the poll strap, throat lash and on top of the noseband. I wonder how much they cost these days? It really has surprised me how large the price range is for synthetic headcollars. I haven't had to buy one for ages and ages.

I got this one for my skewbald - fits well, looks fab on her and is a bit different!

I haven't had an Argie style KM headcollar, just have the plain ones with the padded headpiece. I've had one for 4+ years and one since I got the horse 2.5 years ago. Still going strong although may just need to replace the leadrope soon.
