A poll guard, quite simply, protects the horse’s poll area.
Located between the horse’s ears, the poll is the bony point where the spinal cord attaches to the skull. It is a very sensitive area and is susceptible to injury, particularly when the horse is in a confined area with limited headroom, such as whilst travelling or stabled. If enough pressure is applied, an injury to the poll can be very serious.
Made from thermoformed EVA padding, Woof Wear’s ergonomically designed, and close fitting poll guard gives exceptional protection to the delicate poll area and can be used in any situation where head protection is required.
Ergonomically designed for a close, comfortable fit, it attaches easily and securely to a head collar. And it’s easy to clean — just wipe with a damp cloth!
