Explaining what the neck collars are that we use on our horses. Their main purpose is as a head collar back up or replacement and to secure the bridle to while driving (i.e. like a gullet strap). They allow us all the benefits of a headcollar and a gullet strap in one secure piece of equipment. We use the collars with the horses we have in for training as an extra point of attachment, both when in the yard and in case of any emergencies while out driving. • The collar is a webbing strap and a sturdy swivel ring that buckles around the horse's neck. They are fitted so we can get a hand between them and the horse's neck; snug enough not to be pulled over the ears, but loose enough not to interfere if the horse bends his head. • If a horse is tied up, rubs his head and slips his headcollar, the clip is connected both to the head collar ring and the collar ring, so the horse remains secured. We also have free access to the horse's face and nose for grooming, knowing he is still tied up securely and without having to remove headcollars. • Not using head collars while you drive, but taking them with you on the carriage still means you have to put them on the horse before using them, whereas the collars we use can remain on whether in the stable or when being driven. • Sometimes we don't want to use a headcollar as the buckles can rub on some horse's faces, making it uncomfortable for them. The collars allow us to secure the horse while in the carriage with only the bridle on, and he can be tied up and unharnessed securely without needing to put the headcollar on at all. • Underhalters have very little adjustment as they only have one buckle to allow the headpiece to be undone. If you have a horse with a wide nose, often you cannot get the headcollar far enough up their noses, so it can rub. The other disadvantage in this is that you cannot open the headcollar at the nose, for example if you are using it to tie up your horse, and you need to remove the noseband to groom the horse. • There are also gullet straps, which run from the throatlash to the noseband to prevent the bridle being pulled off over the head. They are meant to be used to attach a leadrope to in an emergency situation but are not very strong and if you need to take the bridle off they become useless as a headcollar substitute. • Horse Drawn Promotions - Breaking horses to harness. • Subscribe to our channel: • http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Facebook: • / 146457242073727 • Website: • http://www.horsedrawnpromotions.com
