Control Headcollar

The Shires Control Headcollar is designed for horses that need a little extra encouragement to lead quietly. By applying gentle pressure to the muzzle area when the horse pulls, it naturally discourages strong or difficult behaviour — and immediately releases the pressure when the horse relaxes, rewarding good behaviour and encouraging lightness.

Ideal for use at the yard, in the field, or at competitions, this headcollar is a practical training aid for horses that are strong to lead or prone to pulling away.

Key Features

• Pressure-release design applies gentle muzzle pressure to discourage pulling
• Noseband loosens instantly when the horse stops pulling, rewarding calm behaviour
• Durable webbing construction built to withstand daily use
• Brass fittings for a smart, traditional finish
• Clip-on throatlash for a secure, adjustable fit
• Available in Pony, Cob, Full and Extra Full sizes

How It Works

Unlike a standard headcollar, the control headcollar uses a pressure-point noseband that tightens slightly when the horse pulls forward. As soon as the horse softens and stops pulling, the noseband loosens — making it a humane and effective training tool based on positive reinforcement principles.
