Which headcollar for which use
In the stable and in the field, a nylon or lined leather headcollar prevents rubbing on the nose and poll. For a horse that keeps its headcollar on in the field, choose a safety model that breaks if it gets caught, such as the HKM one. For travelling, a padded headcollar protects the head in the trailer, and the Privilège travel headcollar is designed for this. The rope halter, like the Chetak, is used for groundwork: being thinner, it conveys your requests more precisely.
Leather or synthetic
Leather (Clincher and Trippled by T de T, Ronzon chrome, Tixerant by Privilège) lasts a long time and breaks more easily if it gets caught, which makes it safer. It needs to be cleaned and greased. Nylon is strong, light and can be washed with water. The T de T show headcollar is reserved for in-hand conformation and gait shows.
For foals
The T de T foal éco headcollar is made for foals: it adjusts at the poll and under the throat to keep up with growth. Never leave a headcollar that is too tight on a young horse, as it grows quickly.
