Gladiator Equine Reign Ease® PRO-C

A cushioned pad that sits on the poll, just behind the ears. Its ceramic turns your horse's body heat into far infrared aimed at the poll and neck, switching on the rest-and-digest side so the neck and back let go and your horse can focus on you.

The poll is the spot just behind your horse's ears, where the crown piece of the bridle sits. It's where a stressed horse locks up first, and the brace doesn't stay there: a stiff poll means a braced neck, and a braced neck means a tight back. PRO-C fastens to the crown piece so Gladiator's ceramic rests right on the poll. Most of the far infrared lands there, in the muscles that lock up first, and as they let go the neck lengthens and the back comes with it. Some travels on through the body as well, but the poll is where PRO-C does its work.
