NEW Shaft Guards - Arrives Mid April 2026
The Zilco Shaft Guards are a practical and refined solution designed to protect the horse from contact with shaft ends, particularly during sharp turns in marathon and cone driving. Engineered with both performance and comfort in mind, these guards help minimise the risk of rubbing or impact without restricting movement.
The Shaft Guards are easily fitted to any saddle and are compatible with quick-release tugs, Tilbury tugs, or shaft loops, ensuring seamless integration with a wide range of harness configurations. The interior is generously padded and lined with Zilco's premium Zeather synthetic leather, delivering exceptional comfort and reduced friction against the horses shoulder.
Externally, a flexible yet highly durable wear plate provides reliable protection while maintaining the freedom of movement essential for high-level driving. Combining thoughtful design with robust materials, Zilco Shoulder Guards offer dependable protection where it matters most.
