The neck protector classic has a length of 29 cm and, when closed, a width of 5.5 cm. Because it is made of boiled wool, it is stretchable to a certain extent and therefore fits not only around the headpiece of the halter but also around the headpiece of a classic bridle or curb.
It is available in the colors dark brown, anthracite or black.
In healthy horses, when riding with this neck protector, a significantly faster tilting of the neck and a faster chewing can be observed. In addition, this improves the freedom of movement.
Even horses sensitive to stress, which build up pressure in themselves until they finally "explode", can become looser in the neck thanks to the neck protector with bionic fibers, reduce the stress again through movement and become more relaxed overall.
If you ride your horse with the neck protector for the first time and your horse does not yet know it, it can in rare cases happen that your horse is "funnier" than usual. This is usually the case with very sensitive horses when suddenly none Feel more pain in the neck and jaw area.
The neck protector Classic can also be used for therapeutic purposes. So far, a significantly faster regeneration has been observed in the treatment of bumps in the neck, diseases of the neck ligament, atlas problems, injuries in the head and eye area and in the treatment of sarcoids in the head and upper neck. For this purpose, the neck protector Classic can be attached not only to the headpiece of the halter, but also to the noseband, cheekpiece and throat strap. In the case of eye injuries, the neck protector can be attached to the side of the neck piece up to the closure of the holster. If the Classic Neck Protector is used for therapeutic purposes, the sick horse should wear it for 24 hours if possible. As an alternative to a conventional halter, I recommend the halter / willow from BUSSE, which works entirely without metal and is only closed with a Velcro fastener.
In rare cases, a so-called initial aggravation can occur, as is known from homeopathy. However, this phenomenon occurs after two to three days at the latest.
Like all boiled wool products from SANA Bellua, the neck protector is also machine washable at 30 degrees with lambswool detergent, but not suitable for tumble drying.
