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 is the front part ONLY of
the Fixed Headcheck - it
connects the Back Part of the
headcheck to the bit. This
