Location: Oklahoma | I have 3. On my one gelding who is scared of his own shadow, I noticed the biggest difference. He started licking his lips and standing relaxed at the trailer, even with comotion going on around him. He cocked his leg and went to sleep. I am very impressed! |

Location: Back in MT BABY!!! | I have one. My horse is more relaxed at the trailer with it. She would pace at the trailer when left by herself and she still gets a little watchy but not nearly as bad as what she used to be. |

Location: Texas | I have one. To me his attitude is different. Also his poll is usually bad and always needs adjusting but here lately it is fine when I get him checked. |

Location: Northwest | I had one and sold it because I didn't notice any difference (calmer, more relaxed, lip licking etc.) |

Location: Running barrels or watching nascar | I ride with one on one of my horses. I want another. She's more calm when I'm on her back but still doesn't like to be tied by herself. I feel a little bit of a difference when I'm riding though. She still boogers some but not a lot. This horse hasn't been everywhere yet. |

| I have 3 and love them. Some horses you won't notice a ton of difference with, but the more nervous ones I have noticed them being a lot more relaxed. I have a gelding who has poll issues, he always gets out in his TMJ and the poll pack has helped a lot. Keeps his muscles more relaxed, and he isn't as sensitive about his head. I used it daily, and also before and after a Chiro visit. Helps keep the muscles relaxed after. |

| Has anyone used both a poll pack and a PHT fly mask? Which do you recommend? |

| I have the poll pack and really like it. Shoot I like all there products. We had a horse who had a very strange head injury. It was almost "strokelike" on one side of his face. Wasn't sure if the nerve's would regenerate, weren't sure if he would lose his eye because he was having trouble blinking..etc. We put the slinky on and used it every day. Used vitamin E in his feed after we were done with the antibiotic treatment. This horse made a 99 % recovery in a little over a month. His nerve's came back and looking at him now you would never know this occurred. I truly believe it helped in his recovery. |

Location: Missouri | My Daughter and Son-in-law has a head horse that his poll and skull get out of wack alot! They use a poll pack on his halter and head stall, it has helped a bunch with his head issues. Yes they still get him adjusted but the poll pack gives them more time in between adjustments. No he does not lick his lips but he also does not freak out when trying to put his halter on or head stall! so yes it has helped with Spook! not everyhorse will have teh same type of response you just have to know your horse and his temperment to be able to tell a difference.

| I have two. Love them!
I notice my horse is not as sensitive or reactive when he has his on.
Could it be my mind? Possibly, but for the price it is inexpensive enough that if I think it works, I will use it.
He has a PHT magnetic blanket too and I am a huge fan of that helping him out. He has some major sensitivity issues that I had to have vetted last year. The blanket and poll pack help manage them, in my opinion. |
