Combine everyday comfort, dependable handling and smart John Whitaker stead Rope Set in Navy**.
Designed for regular use around the yard, during grooming and while travelling, the Leyburn is constructed from tough polyester webbing for a durable yet lightweight feel. Soft fleece padding across the crown and noseband creates a cushioned contact surface, helping reduce pressure and rubbing in these sensitive areas.
The double-buckle headpiece can be adjusted independently on both sides. This helps keep the crownpiece centred behind the horse’s ears while allowing the headcollar to be fitted more evenly than a design with adjustment on only one side.
An easy-use trigger clip on the throat lash allows the headcollar to be opened and removed quickly without repeatedly altering the crown adjustment. This is particularly convenient during everyday yard routines, grooming and preparation for travel.
Satin-effect metal fittings give the Leyburn Headcollar a refined finish, while the sleek metal plaque on the cheekpiece adds distinctive John Whitaker detailing.
A matching 1.8-metre solid-colour lead rope is included, creating a coordinated set that is ready to use. The navy colour provides a classic equestrian appearance that works equally well at home, at competitions and while travelling.
Available in Pony, Cob and Full sizes, the adjustable design allows the fit to be tailored to different head shapes. Always check that the noseband, crownpiece and cheek straps sit correctly before use.

Important Safety Information
The Leyburn is not described by the manufacturer as a breakaway or field-safe headcollar.
Do not leave a horse unattended while wearing a standard headcollar unless this forms part of a carefully assessed management plan. Headcollars can catch on fencing, gates, feeders and other objects.
Check the webbing, stitching, buckles, trigger clip and lead-rope attachment before every use. Replace the set if any component becomes damaged, excessively worn or unreliable.
Never tie a horse using the lead rope directly to an immovable object without an appropriate quick-release system.

Durable Construction for Everyday Use
The John Whitaker Leyburn Headcollar and Lead Rope Set is crafted from tough polyester webbing, ensuring long-lasting durability without the weight. This makes it ideal for everyday yard activities, grooming, and travel, delivering reliable performance through frequent use. The materials chosen provide a blend of strength and comfort, resisting wear while remaining easy to handle.
Comfort-Focused Design Features
Soft fleece padding on both the crownpiece and noseband cushions sensitive areas, significantly reducing pressure points and minimizing rubbing. This thoughtful design enhances your horse’s comfort during extended wear, making the Leyburn headcollar an excellent choice for horses prone to irritation with traditional headcollars.
Adjustability for a Precise Fit
Equipped with a double-buckle headpiece adjustable independently on both sides, this headcollar ensures a symmetrical and secure fit that keeps the crownpiece centred behind the ears. The separate side adjustments allow for fine-tuning to accommodate varying head shapes, contributing to optimal comfort and control, unlike headcollars with single-side adjustments.
Convenient Features and Elegant Finish
The easy-use trigger clip on the throat lash facilitates quick attachment and removal without the need to repeatedly adjust the crownpiece, improving efficiency during busy yard routines. Finished with satin-effect metal fittings and a distinctive John Whitaker metal plaque on the cheekpiece, the set combines practical functionality with a sleek, classic navy aesthetic that maintains a professional equestrian appearance.
