Pedigree Query

What are those protectors on the horses neck that are used when ponying called? They are usually leather and are used so that they dont get bit. I just cannot figure out what they are!!

I have heard them called pony shoulder pads and "bite pads" but cant say if that is the "accepted" term or not. Our tack repairman here on track makes them.

I thought they were called neck or shoulder guards.... well suffice to say I have googled a million freaking way to term it and have nothing. But below is a link that I know makes them ....I think for around $65 to $75.

They look like they have some really nice stuff.

Hi Afleet,
A pony boy in NY had a good one..He had them put on it, "Bite This" :>) TJ
