The head collar is an essential element of the bridle. It is the leather straps which are put on the horses head and form the basis of the bridle upon which reins, bit and martingales are attached. Also known as a halter, the head collar can be purchased in leather or in a synthetic material such as nylon.

A head collar is for use when riding the horse and when it is being restrained or tied up. They can be bought in a variety of sizes and materials so you can choose the right equipment to suit the type of riding you do. If you have a young horse or a foal then you can buy a head collar or halter appropriate to its size.

Keeping your head collar and halter clean

It is vital that you keep your head collars and halters clean for your safety and comfort, for the safety and comfort of your horse and to ensure it has a long life. If you have a variety of head collars, for example a synthetic one for daily use and leather bridle for events or other special occasions then you can prolong the life of your horse tack.
