“Put HaloHead on the first evening and he just stood there, dropped his head and chilled out for the whole session. Rode him the next morning and the right rein felt noticeably softer.”
Your horse may not be "fighting you."
The guarded jaw. The stiff neck. The resistance when you pick up the reins.
Sometimes what looks like attitude can simply be a horse carrying tension through the poll, neck and jaw.
Here are six reasons riders are adding HaloHead to their routine.
A guarded jaw. Resistance to the bridle. A neck that never quite softens.
Those little signs are easy to dismiss as attitude or training problems.
But the poll sits right beside the TMJ, where the jaw meets the skull.
When this whole area feels tight, your horse may simply find it harder to relax through the neck and contact.
The poll doesn't work in isolation.
Tension can involve the poll, upper neck and jaw/TMJ region together.
That's why HaloHead uses two connected light panels instead of stopping at the top of the head.
It extends from the poll along the neck and toward the jaw, giving owners broader coverage in one hands-free session.
HaloHead combines 660nm red light with 850nm near infrared light.
Red light works closer to the surface.
Near infrared travels further into the soft tissue underneath.
HaloHead runs both together across the poll and neck, creating a simple way to support comfort, circulation and relaxation as part of your horse's routine.
HaloHead isn't a tiny light clipped to one pressure point.
It uses two independent LED panels, one across the poll and another extending along the neck.
Each has its own digital control panel, so the setup stays flexible while your horse stands comfortably.
More coverage. Less standing there holding a device.
No handheld device to keep perfectly positioned.
HaloHead wraps around the poll and neck with an adjustable hook-and-loop fit.
Turn it on and let your horse stand comfortably while you groom, tidy tack or finish chores.
Ten to twenty minutes. Then take it off and get on with your day.
Some days your horse steps out loose.
Other days the stall, trailer or yesterday's work shows up immediately.
HaloHead is designed to fit into the routine you already have.
Use it before riding, after work, after trailering, or whenever the poll and neck seem tighter than usual. No appointment required.

Position HaloHead around the poll and along the upper neck.
Choose steady or pulse mode and adjust the two panels.
Let your horse stand comfortably for approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
“Put HaloHead on the first evening and he just stood there, dropped his head and chilled out for the whole session. Rode him the next morning and the right rein felt noticeably softer.”
“My mare got flagged at a clinic for being tight through the neck. A couple of weeks of HaloHead and the same clinician said the neck looked completely different, more through, more relaxed.”
“First time I put it on he dropped his head within like 2 minutes. Love that the two panels let me focus more on his lower neck because that's where he carries his tension.”

HaloHead places 660nm red light and 850nm near infrared light across the poll and neck. Used for 10 to 20 minutes, it is designed to support comfort, circulation and relaxation as part of your horse's routine.
Two panels extend from the poll along the upper neck and toward the jaw/TMJ region. That is the key difference from a cap that covers the poll alone.
660nm red light works closer to the surface. 850nm near infrared travels further into the soft tissue underneath. Running both together covers more of the area in one session.
Before riding, after work, after trailering, after extended stall time, or as part of a regular grooming routine. There is no strict schedule.
10 to 20 minutes. Strap it on, turn it on and let your horse stand comfortably.
Yes. Many owners use it before tacking up to help the poll and neck settle into the day's work.
Yes. It is designed to fit into the routine after extended time standing in transport.
The flexible neoprene shell and hook-and-loop strap adjust to a range of neck sizes. The perforated inner layer keeps the panels against the coat.
No. HaloHead is cordless and rechargeable, so it can be used anywhere at the barn.
A poll cap covers one spot. HaloHead uses two independently controlled LED panels to cover the poll, neck and jaw/TMJ area together.
HaloHead sits along the poll and upper neck, not over the ears. Do not use over open wounds or broken skin, do not point the light toward the eyes, and make sure the coat is dry. Ask your vet if you have concerns specific to your horse.
No. HaloHead is a wellness device meant to be used alongside veterinary care, not instead of it.
