Headcollars & Leadropes

Everyday Comfort and Control

A good headcollar is an essential part of any horse owner’s tack collection. Our range includes lightweight nylon headcollars for everyday use, fleece padded designs for added comfort and leather or breakaway styles for safe turnout. Each design ensures a secure fit and gentle pressure distribution, keeping your horse comfortable during handling, travelling or grooming.

Nylon and Padded Headcollars

The Shires Topaz Nylon Headcollar range is a customer favourite, offering durable, weather resistant materials in a wide range of vibrant colours. For added comfort, fleece lined options reduce rubbing around the poll and nose. These designs are perfect for everyday use, providing practicality without compromising on appearance.

Breakaway and Safety Designs

Safety is key when choosing turnout headcollars. The LeMieux Break Away Headcollar is designed with a replaceable leather headpiece that gives way under pressure, reducing the risk of injury if your horse gets caught. Ideal for use in the field or stable, this headcollar combines strength, safety and LeMieux’s signature style.

Leadropes for Every Horse

Complete your set with a matching leadrope for a polished look. Options such as the Shires Two Tone Lead Rope or Woof Wear Contour Lead Rope provide excellent grip, strength and flexibility. Many include durable trigger clips for easy attachment, making them reliable for everyday handling or travel.

Colour, Fit and Coordination

Whether you prefer bold tones like turquoise and raspberry or classic navy and black, you’ll find a headcollar to match your horse’s personality. Pairing matching leadropes with your chosen headcollar creates a coordinated and professional appearance, perfect for yard use or shows.

Care and Maintenance

Keep your headcollars and leadropes clean and in good condition by brushing off dirt regularly and hand washing when needed. Check metal fittings and stitching frequently to ensure continued safety and strength.
