Now Legal for AQHA Show Use!
These soft cotton/poly blend "pom pom" style equine EXTRA LARGE ear plugs are available in black (for bays, browns, grays, and blacks, etc.). They measure 2-1/2 inches in diameter and are very comfortable for your horse to wear. This size will fit larger horses: Draft Breeds, Warmbloods, large Thoroughbreds and large Quarter Horses. The third photo shows size extra large in comparision to the 2 inch diameter ear plugs for "regular" sized horses.
AQHA rules specify "cotton" type ear plugs which muffle objectionable sounds as opposed to the foam type which completely eliminates the horse's ability to hear. With these your horse will still hear your voice commands but will lose the high register of those sounds that can make horses nervous or unable to concentrate in the show pen.
Please check my listings for other colors and sizes available: brown (for sorrels, chestnuts, palominos, roans) or white (for whites, grays, palominos, cremellos, buttermilk buckskins, etc.).
I used a pair of these at the 2011 AQHA world show and had the official steward inspect them to ensure their legality at AQHA sanctioned events.
These ear plugs may be used for clipping, parades, mounted shooting, AQHA shows, trailering, or any other situation where unusual sounds may lessen your horse's concentration and create uneasiness.
I will leave feedback after receiving feedback as confirmation that item has been received
