Product Information

Full details

The Montar Lyon Fig-8 Noseband is an ideal choice for riders looking to enhance equine comfort through anatomical design, specifically engineered to avoid sensitive facial nerves. This noseband is best suited for horses that require precise bit stability without excessive pressure, though riders should note that the specialized fit requires careful adjustment to ensure the nose bridge disc remains centered and effective. Crafted from high-quality, organically tanned leather, it balances durability with a refined look, making it a functional upgrade for everyday schooling or competition use.

FAQs

Is this noseband suitable for all horse sizes?

The Montar Lyon Fig-8 is available in multiple sizes ranging from Pony to Full, ensuring a proper fit for most breeds.

Does the organic tanning affect the durability of the leather?

No, the high-quality organic tanning process is designed to maintain strength and durability while being more environmentally friendly.

How do I clean the rubber-lined loops?

Wipe the rubber linings with a damp cloth to remove any debris; avoid using heavy oils on the rubber as it may cause degradation.

Can I use this for FEI competitions?

Yes, the design generally complies with most standard competition regulations regarding tack, but always check your specific rulebook.

How tight should a Fig-8 noseband be?

It should be snug enough to stabilize the bit but loose enough that you can easily fit two fingers between the noseband and the horse's nasal bone.

Troubleshooting

Noseband slipping to one side

Check that the crown piece is centered and the cheek straps are tightened evenly on both sides.

Visible rubbing on the horse's skin

Ensure the padding is clean and free of dried sweat, and check if the noseband is too tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces pressure on sensitive facial nerves
  • High-quality, durable organically tanned leather
  • Rubber-lined loops prevent strap slippage
  • Soft padding reduces the risk of rubbing or hair loss

Cons

  • Requires precise fitting to ensure proper alignment
  • Style may not suit all traditional bridle aesthetics
  • Padding requires regular maintenance to stay soft

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, ensure the nose bridge disc sits flat and centered on the nasal bone. The cheek straps should be adjusted so the rings do not pinch the horse's cheekbones. For compatibility, this noseband fits most standard anatomically shaped headpieces. To care for your leather, clean regularly with a high-quality leather soap to remove sweat and dirt. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the padding soft and supple, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the organic tanning process or the rubber linings.
