Shires Velociti Lusso Padded Leather Breakaway Headcollar Halter - Full Size

Safety Meets Sophistication: The Ultimate Field-Safe Leather Headcollar

The Shires Velociti Lusso Padded Leather Headcollar is the answer for riders who refuse to choose between high-end aesthetics and essential field safety. We know the worry of leaving a leather halter on during turnout, but this breakaway design offers true peace of mind. By incorporating a leather crown tab engineered to snap under extreme pressure, it helps prevent neck trauma if your horse gets hung up on a fence or trailer tie.

Crafted from premium waxed European leather, this headcollar doesn't just look the part at shows; it’s built for the daily rigors of the barn. With its deep Lusso padding and anatomical shaping, it’s specifically designed to protect thin-skinned horses from the rubs and pressure points common with standard gear. From the trailer to the paddock, it’s a piece of equipment you can trust for the long haul.
