Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is the open-front design preferred for show jumping?
A: The open-front design protects the vulnerable tendons from strikes while allowing the horse to "feel" if they hit a rail, which encourages them to be more careful and tidy over fences.

Q: How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my horse?
A: Sizing is primarily based on height: Pony (up to 14.1hh), Cob (14.2hh–15.1hh), and Full (15.2hh–16.2hh). The adjustable pin fastenings allow you to fine-tune the width for a secure, non-slip fit.
