The area around the horse's neck behind the ears is a very sensitive area with many nerves and ligaments. To relieve pressure from the bridle, we have developed a headpiece that is extra wide. The headpiece also has a cut-out at the top, which distributes pressure evenly and does not concentrate it in one spot. The headpiece is also cut to make room for the horse's ears, all to provide the highest possible comfort. This Headpiece comes with white stitches and matches the Pioneer bridle beautifully. Made from Italian vegetable-tanned leather.
