Whether you're working with a young horse learning to navigate the track environment, a seasoned racer that's developed a tendency to spook at shadows or ground debris, a horse competing on tracks with challenging lighting conditions that create distracting shadows, or managing horses that lose focus when they see movement on the track surface, this shadow roll provides the vision management solution you need. Trainers rely on shadow rolls for horses that jump shadows, shy at track patterns, or become distracted by debris during morning workouts. Jockeys appreciate the improved focus and reduced spooking that allows them to concentrate on tactical racing decisions rather than managing a distracted horse. The large size is specifically designed for thoroughbred racing applications, ensuring proper coverage and fit for professional racing environments. How Shadow Rolls Work A shadow roll is a sheepskin or fleece-covered piece of equipment that attaches to the noseband of a racing bridle. It sits across the bridge of the horse's nose, positioned to limit the horse's downward field of vision without obstructing their forward or peripheral vision. 🎯 Vision Management By blocking the horse's ability to see directly downward, the shadow roll prevents them from seeing shadows cast on the track surface, debris, or ground patterns that might cause distraction or spooking. 🏇 Maintains Forward Focus The horse can still see forward and to the sides clearly, maintaining awareness of other horses, the rail, and the track ahead—critical for safe, competitive racing. 🧠 Reduces Anxiety Horses that spook at shadows or ground movement often race more confidently and relaxed when they can't see what's causing their anxiety, leading to better performance. ⚡ Improves Consistency By eliminating visual distractions, shadow rolls help horses maintain consistent pace and focus throughout the race, from gate break to finish line. When to Use a Shadow Roll ✓ Horse Jumps or Shies at Shadows If your horse consistently jumps, shies, or breaks stride when encountering shadows on the track—whether from the rail, other horses, or track structures. ✓ Distracted by Track Debris Horses that lose focus when they see dirt clods, divots, or other debris on the track surface during racing or training. ✓ Spooks at Ground Patterns Some horses react to track patterns, starting gate shadows, or changes in track surface appearance—a shadow roll eliminates these visual triggers. ✓ Inconsistent Performance If your horse performs well in some conditions but struggles in others, particularly when lighting creates more shadows, a shadow roll can provide consistency. ✓ Young Horse Training Introducing young horses to the track environment can be easier with a shadow roll, helping them focus on learning rather than reacting to every shadow. ✓ Track-Specific Challenges Certain tracks have lighting or structural features that create more shadows—a shadow roll helps horses perform consistently across different venues. Attachment & Care Instructions Attaching to Your Bridle The Equiwin fleece shadow roll cover is designed to fit over the existing shadow roll frame on your racing bridle. Simply slide the fleece cover over the shadow roll frame, ensuring it's centered and positioned correctly on the noseband. The soft fleece should sit comfortably against the horse's nose without creating pressure points. Fit Check: The shadow roll should sit approximately 2-3 inches below the horse's eyes, positioned to block downward vision without obstructing forward sight. Ensure it's secure and won't shift during racing or training. Cleaning & Maintenance Machine Washing: Remove the fleece cover from the shadow roll frame. Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may damage the fleece fibers. Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. The fleece will maintain its soft texture and shape through repeated washing. Between Uses: After each race or training session, shake out dirt and debris. For quick freshening, spot clean with damp cloth and allow to air dry. Storage: Store in a clean, dry location when not in use. Proper care extends the life of the fleece and maintains its soft, comfortable texture. Replacement: Replace the fleece cover when it becomes matted, loses its softness, or shows signs of wear that might cause discomfort to the horse. Racing Regulations & Equipment Rules Important: Shadow rolls are permitted equipment in most racing jurisdictions, but regulations vary by track and racing authority. Always check with your local racing stewards or track officials regarding equipment rules before race day. Some jurisdictions require shadow rolls to be declared on the equipment list prior to racing. Consult your trainer or racing secretary if you have questions about equipment regulations at your track. .product-overview { margin-bottom: 30px;}.product-overview h2 { font-size: 26px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin-bottom: 12px; border-bottom: 2px solid #2c5aa0; padding-bottom: 10px;}.intro { font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; color: #444; font-style: italic;}.key-features { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr)); gap: 20px; margin: 30px 0;}.feature { display: flex; gap: 15px; padding: 20px; background: #f8f9fa; border-radius: 8px; border-left: 4px solid #2c5aa0;}.feature-icon { font-size: 28px; flex-shrink: 0;}.feature-content h3 { font-size: 17px; font-weight: 600; color: #2c5aa0; margin: 0 0 8px 0;}.feature-content p { font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; color: #555; margin: 0;}.specifications { background: #fff; padding: 25px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; margin: 30px 0;}.specifications h3 { font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 15px 0; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;}.spec-list { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr)); gap: 10px;}.spec-list li { padding: 8px 0; color: #444; font-size: 14px;}.benefits { margin: 30px 0;}.benefits h3 { font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;}.benefits ul { padding-left: 20px; margin: 0;}.benefits li { margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444; line-height: 1.5;}.ideal-for { background: #f0f4f8; padding: 25px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 30px 0;}.ideal-for h3 { font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 12px 0;}.ideal-for p { font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; color: #444; margin: 0;}.how-it-works { background: #e8f5e9; padding: 25px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 30px 0;}.how-it-works h3 { font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 15px 0; text-align: center;}.works-content > p { font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; color: #444; margin: 0 0 20px 0; text-align: center;}.works-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(240px, 1fr)); gap: 15px;}.works-item { background: white; padding: 18px; border-radius: 8px; border-left: 4px solid #4caf50;}.works-item h4 { font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600; color: #4caf50; margin: 0 0 8px 0;}.works-item p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; color: #555; margin: 0;}.when-to-use { margin: 30px 0;}.when-to-use h3 { font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;}.use-scenarios { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr)); gap: 15px;}.scenario { background: #fff; padding: 18px; border-radius: 8px; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; transition: all 0.3s ease;}.scenario:hover { border-color: #2c5aa0; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(44, 90, 160, 0.1);}.scenario h4 { font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600; color: #2c5aa0; margin: 0 0 8px 0;}.scenario p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; color: #555; margin: 0;}.attachment-care { background: #fff9e6; padding: 25px; border-radius: 8px; border-left: 4px solid #f5a623; margin: 30px 0;}.attachment-care h3 { font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 20px 0;}.attachment-section,.care-section { margin-bottom: 20px;}.attachment-section:last-child,.care-section:last-child { margin-bottom: 0;}.attachment-section h4,.care-section h4 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 10px 0;}.attachment-section p,.care-section p { font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; color: #444; margin: 8px 0 0 0;}.attachment-section p:first-of-type,.care-section p:first-of-type { margin-top: 0;}.racing-regulations { background: #ffebee; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; border-left: 4px solid #dc3545; margin: 30px 0;}.racing-regulations h3 { font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0 0 10px 0;}.racing-regulations p { font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; color: #444; margin: 0;}@media (max-width: 768px) { .product-overview h2 { font-size: 22px; } .key-features { grid-template-columns: 1fr; gap: 15px; } .spec-list { grid-template-columns: 1fr; } .works-grid { grid-template-columns: 1fr; } .use-scenarios { grid-template-columns: 1fr; } .feature { padding: 15px; }} Show more
