Say Goodbye to halter hassles with pure class
We have spent years and thousands of hours perfecting the precise breaking strength, stitching and construction of HEC's signature leather rope combination halter - the unmatched Hybrid Headcollar®.
A Design that Asks Before Telling
Horsemanship is Built-IN
A rope or flat headcollar starts correcting the horse as soon as you pick up on it and uncomfortably asking him to twist his head while moving and doing what is requested.
That's not very nice. Or motivating.
Our exclusive design gives the horse a chance to be right before any correction. The sliding ring works as a pre-signal. Your horse should respond to that alone. If he doesn't, only then do the pressure knots engage to give a very gentle reminder and enforcement. This reinforcement feels similar to pressing your first two fingers on one hand into the soft space between your fingers on the other hand.
There is no movement on the Hybrid Headcollar besides the sliding ring - the entire top part of the halter rests quietly on their face - giving them only one sensory cue to pay attention to. The flat poll helps protect from injury if he should get scared and pull back and our products are carefully designed to breakaway and be replaceable should that happen.
The Hybrid Headcollar offers more control than a control headcollar when your horse does have an emotional moment and needs support - but it is not a control headcollar. It is a full time replacement headcollar that is beautifully made and more comfortable than your horse's current headcollar. Good horses deserve to be rewarded with less annoying humans. Horses that are struggling to learn deserve to be treated with dignity and respect while they figure out how to be good citizens in our human world.
Granted an official patent for its innovative design, the Hybrid Headcollar® is the first major revolution in horse halters in 25 years and has been put to the test under the widest possible range of horse handling conditions over the last ten years.
