Headpiece for poll pressure

[Adoni123]

Hi all,

Looking for some recommendations - I am wanting a headpiece or an add on to my current bridle to reduce the poll pressure. This would need to be quite padded as I have been recommended something fluffy from the professional but I'm interested in other reviews too as I can't find much fluffy.

Boy has a lot of tension in his poll so whatever relieves the tension the most - don't care what it looks like at all!

Thanks

I've used a sheepskin noseband on the headpiece in the past. Make sure you adjust the bit though, because adding bulk can increase the pressure on the poll. If you want a longer term solution (but expensive!) Dy'on do a headpiece that goes way back behind the poll. Always wanted to try it on my mare, but it's too expensive just to take a flier on.

As above, be careful you’re not just increasing the pressure. Have you tried bridles that are cut back at the poll? Horsemanship saddlery do one, others are available.

Back on Track do one https://www.backontrack-uk.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5348953-Back-on-Track-Equine-Poll-Guard.html
Have used on head collar while in stable on pony who has poll problems. Seemed to benefit him.

Fairfax bridle is the best I have used but if you really need a big reduction in poll pressure you need a Dyon difference bridle .

The most extreme (and expensive) I have seen are Dyon difference and the stübben freedom. PS of Sweden do one as well I think which is just a head piece.

I've just bough Henry James comfort 3D air headpieces for my boys & they're fantastic!
