How safe is YOUR headcollar?

We all know that accidents can happen, no matter what you’re doing with your horse. Headcollars are a piece of equipment that we all use in our day to day routine with our horses, so we were surprised to find that there was little to no research available on the safety around headcollars. We approached Dr David Marlin and started conducting research to find out horse owners experience with using headcollars, asking 5615 participants about how often they used them and any 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.
