When sheepskin goes too far...

[Solveig]

Following on from the sheepskin girth sleeve thread - i decided to pick up a bit of the furry stuff myself , when i discovered this!!! http://www.sheepskinshop.co.uk/productlisting.aspx?cid=64&pid=24&c=Equestrian
scroll down to the headcollar - what on earth? I mean i love the stuff ,however ....

LOL...do you reckon anyone would seriously buy that headcollar????

LOL, one of my pet hates is when people use remedial or specialist equipment just because they think it looks good! It doesn't! It just looks like your tack is making your horse uncomfrortable... reaches for G&T.

The only use I could think of for the headcollar is if I was exporting/importing a horse and it would be traveling for days. Then I would get a sheepskin headcollar so it didn't get sore.

I think MizElz's attention should be brought to this due to her obsession....

The headcollar of my dreams!!!!!!!!!


I already have a poll guard and noseband on Ellie's travel headcollar; all that is needed now are those lovely cheekpieces....

I have a sheepskin numnah for Buddy but that is the first and last piece of sheepskin he will be having!!!

Lol, then you could make something new once a year! (at least i think you only shear sheep once a year...)

I think long distance travel is probs the idea for that headcollar, i think i've seen pics of horses on planes with something similar

Those sheepskin padded headcollars are more common in North America than they are here. I used to have a fake set on my headcollar in Canada but I've not seen any for sale here until today!
