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
the front part, and 25mm (1")
wide in the back part. It
features stainless steel
fittings. The front is fixed.
The uni coupler is a
conversion piece to allow the
fitting of a French Style
Headcheck coupler at the back,
which attaches to the saddle
hook via a slot.
The
Front Part,
Uni Coupler
and
French
Headcheck Coupler are all
available for separate
purchase.
