KM Elite Merino Sheepskin Headcollar Set

KM Elite Merino Sheepskin Headcollar Set 

Riding on hot summer days or travelling to away shows in the winter can quickly lead to painful rubs if your horse has sensitive skin. Standard nylon headcollars and leather bridles can easily chafe behind the ears, across the nose and down the cheeks, especially when sweat and grit get trapped underneath. The KM Elite Merino Sheepskin Headstall Set solves this common frustration by using 100% natural Merino sheepskin to cushion these high-pressure contact points. It distributes pressure evenly across your horse's face, making long journeys and yard mornings far more comfortable for them. The wool is tanalised without any harsh chemicals, ensuring it remains incredibly soft and gentle against the skin without causing unwanted irritation. 

This handy four-piece set includes a headpiece cover, two cheek pieces and a noseband protector that fit easily onto standard horse tack. It is highly practical for everyday yard use and keeps its shape well after washing, provided you pop it on a gentle 30°C wool cycle with non-bio liquid and let it air dry away from direct heat. It is a brilliant buy for the clipping season when horses are especially prone to rubbing, or for horses that fight the reins and headcollar during schooling. Just a quick word of warning for owners of grey or coloured horses: on very rare occasions, the dye from the black wool can react with heavy sweat and stain lighter coats, so a quick wash before first use is always a sensible idea.
