Product description
Refine Your Horse’s Head Carriage with the Professional’s Choice War Bonnet
If you're tired of your horse "stargazing" during a run or losing focus in the turn, the Professional's Choice Heavy Oil War Bonnet with Bit Hanger is the training tool you've been looking for. Built to encourage a lower, more balanced head carriage, this war bonnet helps you maintain control when the speed picks up and the pressure is on.
Crafted from premium heavy-oiled harness leather, it feels supple the moment it leaves the box. No more struggling with stiff, dry leather that rubs your horse's face; this piece is designed for immediate performance and long-term durability, whether you're working in the practice pen or competing under the Friday night lights.
Why Riders Choose the Professional's Choice War Bonnet
- Premium Heavy-Oiled Finish ensures the harness leather remains supple and weather-resistant, requiring far less maintenance than standard dry leather.
- Precision 1/2" Hole Spacing allows for micro-adjustments to the poll pressure, giving you the exact fit needed for fine-tuned communication.
- Integrated Bit Hanger simplifies your setup by functioning as a minimalist headstall, making it an ideal choice for horses that are sensitive around the ears.
- Durable Nickel-Plated Hardware provides rust-resistant longevity, standing up to the sweat and dirt of daily training sessions.
- Encourages Proper Frame by applying gentle poll pressure, helping your horse find their balance and stay collected during high-speed maneuvers.
Who It’s For
Barrel racers and speed event riders looking for improved head carriage and better body control during high-intensity turns and stops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this come with a tie-down strap?
This product includes the war bonnet and bit hanger; however, for maximum effectiveness in correcting head elevation, the Professional's Choice War Bonnet is designed to be used in conjunction with a separate tie-down strap.
Q: Will this fit a standard Quarter Horse?
Yes, this war bonnet is designed as a universal horse size with highly adjustable crown and cheek pieces to fit most average-sized performance breeds and Quarter Horses.
Q: How do I maintain the heavy-oiled leather?
Because it is pre-oiled, it resists sweat and grime better than dry leather. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and apply a light leather conditioner as needed to keep it supple for the long haul.
