Poll and eye protection apparatus for a horse and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A horse mask or halter manufactured by folding a single piece of screen material according to a pattern that ensures the formation of rigid darts in the portion of the mask corresponding to the eyes of the horse. The mask incorporates poll-protection padding that minimizes the risk of injury to the head of the horse during transportation in a horse trailer. A separate opening in the mask is provided for each ear to create an anchoring support that prevents the mask from shifting position over the head of the horse. Sheep skin is used to pad the edges of the mask and prevent the intrusion of insects.
