  • 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.

  • Stellar Testing & Release Points

    We conducted more testing to develop this concept further using a tensile machine. Different lengths of straps were tested to measure their maximum load before releasing. 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 sizes are set to release at an average of:

    • Small/Pony Headcollar = 45kg.
    • Medium/Cob Headcollar = 58kg.
    • Large/Horse Headcollar = 68kg.
    • Extra Large Headcollar = 83kg.

    The release system is tested to release consistently, up to 10 times. We recommend that the safety strap is replaced after 10 pulls (or if the Velcro is not adhering well) to ensure efficiency of the strap.

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.
