RedHoof™ Poll & Neck Hood: The 15-Minute Hood for a Tight Poll, Stiff Neck and Bridle Resistance

Every RedHoof product uses two wavelengths. 660 nm red light works close to the surface and supports circulation in the skin and coat. 850 nm near-infrared reaches deeper into the tissue toward tendons, joints and the hoof. The light comes from LEDs, not a laser: non-thermal and drug-free, so the session runs while your horse stands in the stall or the cross-ties.

Hoof Wrap: sore hooves, laminitis, abscesses, navicular, bruised soles. It follows the hoof wall and the coronet band. Tendon Boot: strained tendons and ligaments, filled legs after work, horses coming back from time off. Hock Wrap: stiff hocks, arthritis, swelling after work, senior horses. Poll & Neck Hood: a tight poll, stiff neck, jaw and TMJ, head tossing and bridle resistance. Many owners combine them, for example the Hood with a pair of Hock Wraps for a horse that carries tension front to back.

A session is 15 minutes, and the built-in timer switches the light off on its own. With the Poll & Neck Hood you can run up to 20 minutes if he needs it. For an active issue, most owners use it once a day until he moves comfortably, then three to four times a week to keep it that way. On rest days it works as daily care.

Both. Before riding it helps the hoof, leg, hock or poll feel warm and loose when you start work. After riding, a long trailer day or a hard schooling session it helps the tissue settle and recover. Most riders run it while grooming, so it adds no time to the routine.

Yes. The light is drug-free and non-invasive, which makes it a fit for seniors, horses managing arthritis and horses in rehab. It works alongside whatever your vet and farrier already have planned, not instead of it. Keep it off open wounds, keep the Hood's light away from the eyes, and ask your vet before using it on a fresh injury.

Many owners notice their horse standing more comfortably, stepping out more evenly or lowering his head within the first few sessions. Chronic issues such as arthritis, laminitis or a neck that has been tight for months need two to three weeks of consistent use before the change shows up in his stride.

Every RedHoof product has adjustable hook-and-loop straps and fits most horse sizes. Hoof Wrap: about 19 in (482 mm) long, LED panel 3.7 in (95 mm) wide, measure around the hoof wall. Tendon Boot: about 12.6 x 8.7 in (320 x 220 mm), one boot fits left or right, measure around the cannon bone. Hock Wrap: about 14.6 x 12.2 in (370 x 310 mm), measure around the hock at its widest point. Poll & Neck Hood: the straps adjust to a range of neck sizes, the ears go through openings. For a pony or a very large horse, measure first and compare.

Yes. The wrap sits around the hoof wall and the coronet band, above the shoe. Shod or barefoot, the fit is the same.

Yes, and most horses settle faster than their owners expect. Every RedHoof product is made for sensitive horses. The wraps, the boot and the Hood work in complete silence. The Massage Gun runs on a quiet motor, quieter than most clippers, and its eight heads spread the touch, so it feels like a firm hand, not a hammer. Level 1 is gentle enough for a nervous or older horse's very first session.

Introduce it like any new piece of tack: let him see and sniff it, switch the gun on a few steps away so he hears the soft hum first, then start on the shoulder. With the Hood, rest it on the neck first, then slide the ears through. Within a session or two, most horses drop their head, lick and chew, and start leaning in. A hay net helps.

Every product is cordless and rechargeable over USB, so nothing is plugged in during the session. The Poll & Neck Hood runs about one hour per charge, enough for three to four sessions, and recharges in about an hour. The wraps and the boot charge over USB-C. The timer switches every session off on its own, so the battery is not drained by accident.

One device treats one area. For both fronts, both hinds or all four, the 2-pack and 4-pack give you one device per leg and let you run them at the same time. The products also combine well in one session, for example the Hood with two Hock Wraps, or Tendon Boots with Hoof Wraps.

Hoof Wrap: 1 wrap, USB-C charging cable, quick-start guide. Tendon Boot: 1 boot, USB-C charging cable. Hock Wrap: 1 wrap, USB-C charging cable. Poll & Neck Hood: 1 hood, USB charging cable.
