Poll Guards

[BeckyD]

I want to buy a poll guard for my horse as he's prone to throwing his head up in the trailer. Most sorts seem to have ear holes, but look like they'd actually offer little protection. Robinsons sell a big half-moon shaped leather cushion (£30), which looks much better and fits over the headcollar headpiece. Would welcome your views...

I am looking for one of these as well!

Spotted this one

Which I thought looked quite good and it has velcro fastenings so you dont have to remove headcollar - also thought that it looked like it gave more protection that the robinsons one


edited as link wrong!

I have the big half moon one- it s good firm foam, covered in leather - so wil cushion any blow.

I managed to get a Jeffries leather Poll Guard with thick felt padding under it off ebay. I believe it will offer significantly more protection to that of the Robinsons design. They are so expensive to buy new, I was fortunate to get mine which was virtually new & with no one else bidding on it I got it for a song!
