Far infra-red technology
A naturalistic ceramic infused lining that emits a safe form of Far Infrared radiation, also known as Biogenetic Radiation, to the horse’s body, this is then reflected from the horse’s body creating a natural black body effect. Far Infrared radiation is a natural process and is scientifically proven to gently and safely assist blood circulation. Helping to support healthy joints, soft tissue, maintain healthy blood flow, ease muscle tension, support recovery and aid in helping keep structures and functions sound.

*A black body is an object or organism (in this case the horse) that absorbs all FIR radiation that is placed upon it, (in this case the Far Infrared Radiating ceramics infused into the lining of the Protechmasta Competition Poll Pad.) It then reflects this radiation back at the same frequency that has been generated by the initiating blackbody the horse *

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the Bridle Poll Pad?
The poll pad is approximately 26cm long and 4.5cm wide.

How long should the Bridle Poll Pad be worn for, for maximum effect?
It is ideal if you can apply the poll guard 30 minutes before exercise perhaps attached to a headcollar, then during exercise attached to your bridle then back on a headcollar post exercise. This will help to promote blood flow to the muscles for warming up and relaxation and also help to reduce lactic acid build up and relieve tension.

I was sceptical but thought I would give it a go . I brought 1 and ever since the mare has been wearing it she has lead when being ridden out and seemed much calmer. Could be coincidental but nothing else had changed. So 1 have brought a 2and one for our gelding. Anything that helps the horses feel better and happier. Gives safer ride so I am happy too.

Tried this n our pollen affected head shaker. She is also on hilton herbs shake no more as well. With this on the bridle she was more relaxed and led the whole ride. No head shaking whatsoever ever. I have to admit I was a little sceptical but thought it worth a try. I am pleased I did.

I bought this for my horses headcollar, it’s nicely padded and seems to relax her when she’s tied up on the yard and when I’m leading her. She’s been off work for several months due to injury so can be a bit stressy but since I’ve been using this she seems looser in her neck and more relaxed. I will be putting it on her bridle when she’s finally back in work.

Very easy to attach to the bridle with four Velcro straps, only downside for me is that I can only fasten two as my shaped headpiece is quite wide. Have only used a couple of times but seems to be having a positive affect on my TB

Fits neatly under headpiece and unobtrusive. Too early to say as to effectiveness as only ridden twice since it arrived.

My lovely warmblood mare can get a little tense at her poll, thought I'd give the poll pad a go and see if it helped her. I was amazed at the difference, she appeared more relaxed as soon as I tacked up. Riding she felt better in my hand and was lowering her head before we had really warmed up. I'm going buy a few more so I always have one clean and ready to use.

I was very sceptical of this and whether it would work or not. However, it has been amazing! I brought it for my very nappy, very anxious gelding and I can now safely hack him out alone with no major issues. I've also found that he softens down a lot easier with no fighting or headshaking. Wish I brought one sooner!

I must admit I wasn’t convinced this item would do anything but saw all the good reviews so bought one. First try on a head collar on my boy I saw him visibly drop his head and felt a calmer vibe from him after about 10/15 minutes. I bought another one to go on his bridle so I don’t have to keep swapping. Great money spent imo.

I bought this for my rising 4 year old. She had been ridden out gently last autumn and whilst she was incredibly well behaved, sometimes towards the end of the ride she would shake her head up and down a bit. I believe it was her way of showing she was mentally tired. After the winter off and 2 tiny wolf teeth removed I brought her back into work in March. The fussing had greatly improved with her having time to mature more and when I then rode her in the poll pad it had disappeared by the 3rd hack. I also use the stable rug on my big Warmblood and both my instructor and I notice a difference. He is a lot looser in warm weather, and in winter when he's been wearing the protec stable rug he comes out considerably looser then when he just had regular stable rugs on.

It has been an interesting few days using the poll pad. I was sceptical to be fair, about the technology and really only bought it because I needed to replace my old standard pad. However, my tension-prone pony appears more relaxed and her snatching with her head has reduced by about 90%. It will be very interesting to see how my next lesson goes.

I have had problems with my horses head shaking for years, I have tried all sorts, nothing seems to eradicate the problem. Over the last few months his head shaking has become more of problem, he seems irritated and cross, this is affecting his dressage results as his head is all over and he becomes tense. I was sceptical about using this poll guard, but thought it was worth a try. It is amazing!!!! I have used the Protectmaster competition poll guard for the past few weeks and he has been a different horse, more calm, and ready to listen to what I am asking of him. Yesterday he completed in a prelim 13 test getting a very honourable 5th place, we have never been placed in a preIim test before. I am going to buy the fly hood and a saddle cloth as I think these products are worth investing in. A very big thank you to the protect master poll guard. I would definitely recommend this product. Best wishes Louise

I’ve tried a couple of poll pads and bridle types to try to stop my horse shaking her head around. This was the first thing to work! She has stopped the head shaking almost entirely and she is much more chilled at competitions and around other horses. I’m really pleased with this purchase

I wasn’t expecting this to work.....but it really seemed to relax my horse. I have only used it for schooling so far but I felt that she was very chilled but willing. Normally she’s quite sharp but she ignored horses galloping in the next field and a noisy puppy behaving like a hooligan. My friend commented on how well she was going today. I shall continue to use this in a variety of situations and see what happens. It is easy to fit and sits discreetly and comfortably

I was a little dubious about whether this would have any impact on my mare, however they say the proof is in the using and my word, what a difference! The mare feels a lot more settled and happy in her head carriage, and overall she appears a lot more relaxed! Result! £20 well spent!

Next day delivery, popped it on my boys head collar in the stable as he can be a bit of a stress head when other horses go out (as he is a fence jumper) and I can honestly say he has calmed down not running and barging the door or screaming when he sees the other been brought in or turned out. I would recommend this product with its easy velcro strips to move it on to his bridle if needed

Have only hacked him once since buying this but he rode in a straight line, even started working himself. Normally neck is twisting and teeth are grinding. Hopefully may my rides continue to improve and then I will purchase the ears as he hates flies going in them.

My mare is a head shaker and I bought a protechmasta fly veil for the summer. I have bought the competition poll pad as I am so pleased with the results and I wanted something I can show her in. It really has helped with her head shakes, she is much happier and easier to ride.

My horse is very faffy with her head and tend to have a very high head carriage. After using the poll pad a couple of time she was taking the rein forward and was happier with a contact. I will not ride without this i call now and call it her magic hat.

Bought this for my tb who is a real introvert. He has tightness in his neck and poll and can get very tight - he gets regular physio/massage to help. I have only used this a few times so far but it almost puts him to sleep when he's standing tied up. Once on he is relaxed and appears happier - glad I bought this and hoping to see how much it has helped at my next massage!
