Made from a thick, padded material, it is attached to the headcollar and fitted like a hat between the horse’s ears. It is used to protect the horse’s poll area and should be fitted every time they are trailered.
The poll is the bony area directly between the horse’s ears where the spinal cord attaches to the scull. It is a highly sensitive, delicate area susceptible to injury, especially in trailers and box stalls with limited headroom. Trauma to this area can cause severe bruising, inflammation, fractures and even be fatal.
Constructed of lightweight neoprene rubber to protect head during shipping.
3 loops allow halter straps to secure head bumper.
