Most yard headcollars come in black, navy, or, if you're feeling adventurous, a slightly different navy. This one doesn't. The BioThane® & Rope Headcollar is built to your specification: your colours, your horse's size, your combination, made by hand one at a time.

It's the everyday one. Fully adjustable at both the headpiece and under the chin so it fits your horse's actual head shape rather than near enough, with a quick-release clip on the throatlash that makes grooming and tacking up considerably less of a wrestle. Wipe-clean BioThane® paired with vibrant, weather-resistant rope on heavy-duty hardware, it ignores mud, rain and stable stains entirely.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is BioThane® and is it actually waterproof?

Yes, it is 100% waterproof! BioThane® is made from a highly durable webbing coated with PVC or TPU, giving it a premium, leather-like feel while being strictly waterproof and flexible. It does not absorb moisture, so it stays light, comfortable, and completely free from nasty yard smells.

Will the materials rub my horse's face?

Not at all! BioThane® features a smooth, non-porous surface that is incredibly gentle on the skin and coat, helping to prevent any irritation. It is completely smooth and flexible, meaning it won't rub or catch on your horse's fur. The 10mm PPM rope is also incredibly lightweight and soft, making this headcollar perfect for sensitive horses!

Will the hardware rust in the rain?

Absolutely not. We know how brutal the UK weather can be, which is why we bypass standard brass or cheap alloys and exclusively use premium Stainless Steel buckles, rings, and rivets. They are heavy-duty and built to survive the absolute worst of the winter without rusting or failing.
