We've tested different lengths of straps for their release weight. This allowed the appropriate strap and release weight to be matched with the ideal horse size, with the average release rates being based on 10-15% of the horse’s or pony’s weight.

Therefore, the different headcollar and strap sizes are set to release based on poll pressure and within the following ranges:

Small/Pony Headcollar = 35-50kg

Medium/Cob Headcollar = 50-65kg

Large/Horse Headcollar = 65-80kg

Extra Large Headcollar = 80-95kg

The release system is tested to release consistently with downward (poll) pressure, up to 10 times. Equilibrium recommends that the safety strap is replaced after 10 pulls (or if the Velcro is not adhering well) to ensure efficiency of the strap.

Please note: Whilst Equilibrium have taken every precaution and have thoroughly tested the Stellar Headcollar, we cannot guarantee that it will release in every incident. It is tested to release on downwards pressure against the poll.

Long Lasting & Durable

  • Headcollar Safety Survey Results:

    Equilibrium commissioned Dr David Marlin to conduct a survey. Answered by 5615 horse owners*, the survey aimed to find out their experience with using headcollars. This included how often they used them, what types were used, how they were used and the problems associated with them.
    The results were surprising.
    • Almost 1 out of 3 people experienced a horse being injured as a result of a headcollar.
    • More than 1 in 7 people have been injured in a headcollar related incident.
    • There were 167 horse fatalities as a result of a headcollar.

    Unsurprisingly the majority of incidents occurred tied outside, closely followed by in the field. These results demonstrated that perhaps, headcollars should be investigated in more depth…

  • Scientific Testing of Headcollars

    To explore headcollar safety further, Equilibrium commissioned Dr. David Marlin to test the release points of different types of headcollars and tying up devices, including baling twine. The results showed a great variation, from some tie up aids releasing as low as 9kg, to some headcollars releasing as high as over 600kg - more than the average horse's weight.

FAQ's

Absolutely. The Stellar Headcollar is designed for durability and comfort, making it suitable for daily use, whether for turnout, training, or travelling.

The fly mask should be under the Stellar Headcollar, so it lays flat with the horse’s face.

Poll injuries from Pulling Back

It is inevitable that most horses will be tied up from time to time, whether on the yard, in their stable, or in a lorry or trailer. It is also likely most of us can think of a time where a horse has pulled back and they haven’t broken free but have panicked and put a considerable amount of force against their poll, their neck and their back.

How Safe is Your Horse's Headcollar?

Headcollars are one of the most used pieces of horse equipment. In fact, 88% of owners use a horse headcollar every day*. As riders, we have safety equipment to protect ourselves, such as boots, hats, and body protectors. This is obviously to prevent injury or the severity of injury in the event of an accident. But is there a need for our horse headcollars to be safe too? We designed our Stellar Headcollar after researching headcollar accidents, read on to find out what we found.
