The Headcheck (sometimes
referred to as the "Check
Rein") fits from the centre of
the saddle and up the horse's
top line. It then divides
into two straps. Each strap
goes through a special loop on
the harness bridle, and runs
down the horse's face, finally
fastening to the overcheck bit
or chin strap. The purpose of
a headcheck is to set the
horse's head carriage at the
optimal height for racing to
give his best performance, be
easy to control and not impede
his breathing.
This
model is made from synthetic
strapping - 13mm (1/2")wide in

features stainless steel
fittings. The front is fixed,
while the back part connects
to the saddle with a stainless
steel snap hook.
