Like all of our collars, the FeatherFlex All Purpose Horse Collars are made individually, using traditional methods and equipment (but with contemporary materials), these collars make your work easier! FeatherFlex collars are made in the USA from a relatively new, synthetic, heavy duty, but lighter weight sheeting. It’s an incredibly tough material. Rims are filled with tangled straw for flexibility. Collars are stuffed with tangled wheat straw. Semi-gloss, tough as nails finish, they’re very nice looking. These have been tested in everyday use in all weather!

Pleasure measure your equine to find the correct size. Instructions on how to measure are available below.

FeatherFlex All Purpose Collars are available in sizes 18″ – 24″ Half Sweeney with Lever (patent) fasteners. Black only.

These are very hard to keep in stock!

What are FeatherFlex Collars? Why don’t I know about them?

These are the newest of the Carefree Collars. The answer is they are Chimacum Tack’s favorite new collars! Made by Countryside, FeatherFlex collars are the result of several years of planning, gathering materials, and figuring out how to make materials work properly to make fabulous synthetic neck collars. Like all of our collars, these are American made. Each one built carefully, with traditional equipment and technology, from contemporary materials. We have been proud to work with Countryside over the past 25 years. These new collars are a noteworthy achievement and we are proud to add them to our other Chimacum Tack and Comfy Fit products.

Measuring For Your Collar

Please watch the video below on how to measure your horse for your collar!
You can find additional measuring information on our Size Chart Page.

How to Measure for a Collar:

Use a collar measuring tool or make your own tool using two carpenter’s squares (L shaped rulers) or L shaped cardboard cutouts. Overlap the long sides of the two rulers or cutouts forming what looks like a letter C or one vertical side of a collar.
Place measuring tool on the animal as if it were one vertical side of the collar. Place it just where you want the collar to sit on the animal at the wither and below the airway. Grip the tool so it won’t slip as you remove it. Be sure the two parts do not slip; then measure from the top to the bottom on the inside. That will be your collar size.
Look from the front at your horse’s neck. You will be able to shape of the animal’s neck and determine the ‘sweeny’ for the collar.
- Average, straight necks (thoroughbreds and standardbreds) are FULL FACE.
- Necks that are wider at the bottom than the top (quarter horses, fjords, halflingers, and most average drafts) are HALF SWEENY.
