💡 Why use red light therapy on the poll?
I love my poll cap!
The poll area (just behind the ears) is one of the most important yet sensitive parts of a horse’s body. It’s a key junction for muscles, ligaments, and nerves that influence head carriage, jaw relaxation, balance, and overall movement.
Using red light therapy on the poll can help to:
✨ Relieve tension and tightness in the poll and neck muscles
✨ Encourage relaxation through the jaw and TMJ area
✨ Improve flexion, softness, and willingness to work over the topline
✨ Support circulation and healing in a high-stress area
✨ Calm the nervous system and reduce stress or anxiety
Many horses hold tension here from poorly fitting tack, dental issues, or general workload — so applying red light helps them release that tension and move more freely and comfortably. 🐴💆♀️
