You pose two questions and I think your answer to the first one is correct.
The question about the collar's name I cannot answer since I do not speak Flemish , but one can easily see in the video why the collar is so practical. Here in the States we have collars that open on top, which are also quite practical for horses( or mules for that matter) which do not like to have the collar pushed over their faces. To fasten the buckles on these types of collars may be a bit more inconvenient especially with taller animals than the Belgian collar.
You also ask why these types of collars are not available here, that probably is a matter of tradition and also of attitude: There seems to be a certain amount of resistance against adopting harnessing methods coming from abroad , a case in point is the yoke for oxen as contrasted with other , more animal friendly harnesses developed in Germany during the 19th century.

Thanks Klaus I sure would like to get my hands on a set to try they are very nice looking and seem well built and I could only guess fairly comfortable.
