Club Collection Poll Guard

The Club Collection Poll Guard is designed to provide additional padding and protection over the horse's poll area during transport.

Made from high-density foam covered with cotton, the poll guard creates a padded barrier over the top of the horse's head, helping reduce the risk of knocks and bumps when travelling in a horsebox or trailer.

The guard is designed to work with the horse's halter. Two nylon webbing slots allow the halter's poll piece to be threaded through the guard, while an additional strap fastens to the halter's noseband to help keep the poll guard securely positioned during transport.

Available in Full size only.
