FAQs
What sizes do Cottage Craft headcollars come in?
Typically pony, cob and full. Use the adjustable buckles to fine-tune fit at the nose and poll.
Are Cottage Craft stirrup leathers non-stretch?
Some lines are designed to be non-stretch. Check each product description for construction details and materials.
How do I choose the right stirrup leather length?
Match to your current comfortable length and discipline. Ensure the leather width fits your irons.
Can I use Cottage Craft headcollars for travel?
Cottage Craft headcollars feature sturdy webbing and secure buckles. Some styles include a pressure release break point designed to break away under heavy load, which may help reduce injury risk if a horse panics.
When travelling with horses, common safety practices include using quick-release knots and attaching lead ropes to breakable string or safety ties. Many horse owners choose padded headcollars for longer journeys to help reduce pressure and rubbing.
Individual requirements for horse transport vary depending on your horse, vehicle, and journey type.
