Hidez Compression Hoods With Ears

Hidez Compression Hood

Targeted compression for the horse's head and poll, designed to promote relaxation, comfort and focus during training, competition, travel and stable use.

The Hidez Compression Hood applies gentle, targeted compression around key areas of the horse's head and poll, including acupressure points, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area and points associated with relaxation and endorphin response.

Designed with the performance horse in mind, the Hidez Compression Hood may assist in promoting a more relaxed, settled and focused horse, particularly during training, competition and other potentially stressful situations.

Targeted Compression

The close-fitting design provides consistent compression around the horse's head, jaw and poll, areas where horses can commonly hold tension.

Compression garments are designed to provide gentle sensory input and body awareness, which may help some horses feel more secure and relaxed.

Relaxation & Focus

The Hidez Compression Hood is popular for horses that become tense, distracted or unsettled and may provide additional support for horses displaying behaviours such as:

• Stall weaving
• Chomping or playing excessively with the bit
• Head shaking or excessive head movement
• Cribbing
• Difficulty maintaining focus
• General tension or anxious behaviour

TMJ & Poll Support

The hood provides targeted compression around the TMJ and poll areas, making it a popular supportive option for horses where tension or sensitivity around the head and poll is a concern.

It should not replace veterinary, dental or bodywork assessment where pain, restricted movement or ongoing sensitivity is present.

The Hidez Compression Hood can be worn under a correctly fitted bridle or halter, making it easy to incorporate into the horse's normal routine.

Important Information

Head shaking, difficulty breathing, sinus symptoms, jaw or poll sensitivity, persistent behavioural changes and repetitive behaviours can have underlying medical, dental, musculoskeletal or environmental causes.

Always ensure the hood is correctly fitted and does not interfere with the horse's eyes, ears, breathing or normal jaw movement.
