The head of the Campolina is described as trapezoidal in shape, but the silhouette of this horse is smoothly rounded.
Between the ears, the poll is to be visible and raised by a few centimeters above the temples.
The forehead is to be flat, and the nasal bones apparent near the midpoint of the face in the rostro caudal plane.
The head in profile is convex.
Campolinas are not, however, described to have a true Roman nose, as the convex profile begins approximately two finger widths below the base of the orbit.
The muzzle should be soft and rounded, usually dark in colour, as are the hairs of the inner ear, mane and tail relative to the coat over the body.
The nostrils are equal in size and should have a fine layer of flesh around the dorsal surface allowing for approximately one centimeter of separation between the thumb and pointer of the evaluator when the thumb in inserted into the nostril at a depth of around one inch.
The outer edge of the nostril should be slightly thicker.
The lips should be full and taut about the teeth.
The ears are evenly placed when viewed from the front of the horse and not extend vertically more than three times the width of the eye when measured across the inner pinnae.
The pinnae should close to a clean tip at the top of each ear.
Eyes should be expressive.
