Best Poll Cover for safety and comfort?

[Fionaandfudge]

Hello I am looking for a poll cover for my poll sensitive boy

He loves the sheepskin one I have and it fits well but I’m concerned it could cause the bridle to slip over his head easier?

Also concerned of having one that could prevent the bridle breaking if he got caught?

Any advice appreciated

I’ll have a look thank you! He likes the sheepskin but I don’t trust it!

I'm not sure why you think a cover would prevent the bridle breaking, the headpiece tends to be the widest leather so is probably the least likely thing to break. If it is going to break it would be at a weak point like where it splits for the cheek pieces and throatlash, neither of which would be affected by a sheepskin cover. Of the horses I've seen break a bridle by far the most common thing to break is the reins.

Ok that’s good to know thank you
