Plush Protection for Your Horse’s Most Sensitive Areas

Tired of seeing rub marks after a long trailer ride or a day at the show? The Shires Arma Fleece Headcollar & Lead Rope is the ultimate solution for horses that need a softer touch. By combining durable webbing with deep, luxurious SupaFleece, Shires has created a headcollar that prioritizes your horse's comfort without compromising on strength or style.

From our barn to yours, we know that a comfortable horse is a happy horse. This set isn't just about the "smart" look—though the high-shine hardware and matching lead rope certainly deliver that—it’s about providing ergonomic pressure distribution and a friction-free fit that stands up to the rigors of daily ranch life and travel.

Key Benefits

• Eliminate Friction and Rubbing: The deep-pile SupaFleece lining on the crown and noseband provides a cushioned barrier, making it ideal for "thin-skinned" horses prone to hair loss.
• Even Pressure Distribution: Designed with a wide, ergonomically shaped headpiece, this headcollar spreads pressure across the poll to reduce tension and discomfort.
• Symmetrical Adjustability: Dual-sided adjustments on the headpiece and an adjustable backstay allow you to achieve a perfectly balanced fit, regardless of your horse's unique proportions.
• Quick-Clip Convenience: Outfitted with high-quality, high-shine metal fittings and a clip-on throatlash, this set makes tacking up fast and efficient.
• Ready for the Show Ring: The included matching lead rope and stylish embroidery ensure you and your horse arrive looking polished and professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

The Shires Arma Fleece Headcollar & Lead Rope generally runs true to size. If your horse is between sizes—for example, a large-headed Cob—we recommend sizing up to the Full size to ensure the fleece padding provides total coverage without any gaps.

Q: Is this headcollar durable enough for daily use?

Yes! While it’s soft enough for travel and shows, the Shires Arma Fleece Headcollar is built for the long haul with high-quality webbing and reinforced hardware that handles the demands of daily barn life.

Q: How should I clean the SupaFleece lining?

To keep the fleece plush and effective, we recommend hand washing or using a delicate machine cycle with a mild soap, then allowing it to air dry away from direct heat.
