A settled horse, wherever you ride

At home, on the trailer, in a strange barn or a busy warm-up. Gladiator Plughz and Reign Ease turn your horse's own body heat into far infrared aimed at the brain and neck, helping switch on the rest-and-digest side so they stay calm, bright and with you.

Not sedated. Just settled.

Gladiator Plughz®

Calm in the ears, wherever the day takes you.

Every ear plug has foam, and foam only reduces volume. Gladiator Plughz add Gladiator's patented ceramic, aimed at the brain, so the crowd, the golf carts and the loudspeaker stop getting a reaction. Your horse stays calm, not just hearing less.

  • Most riders see the ears soften within 5 to 10 minutes
  • Allowed in hunters, jumpers and equitation
  • The ceramic lasts a lifetime

Reign Ease PRO-C on a horse's poll, under the crown piece of the bridle
At the poll · Powered by Gladiator

Reign Ease® PRO-C

For a softer poll, and a neck and back that follow.

The poll, just behind the ears, is where a stressed horse locks up first, and a stiff poll means a braced neck and a tight back. PRO-C Velcros under the crown piece so Gladiator's ceramic is aimed right at the poll and neck, helping those muscles let go. If your horse won't tolerate ear plugs, it still helps.

  • On 20 to 60 minutes before you ride, and it stays on for the ride
  • Fits any bridle or halter crown up to 1¾ in wide
  • 30-day money-back guarantee

Reign Ease PRO, bare silicone poll piece
At the poll

Reign Ease® PRO

The same Gladiator ceramic as the PRO-C, in bare silicone with no cloth cover. It sits under the crown piece of your bridle. Most riders choose the PRO-C: the cover makes it firmer, and the Velcro keeps it in place.

  • Same ceramic as the PRO-C
