Product Information

Full details

The Agrihealth Australian Noseband is a specialized piece of equestrian equipment designed for riders and trainers who need increased control over horses that pull hard or have a tendency to get their tongue over the bit. By utilizing a durable rubber construction with secure leather ends, this noseband helps maintain contact with the bit and encourages the horse to keep its head in a proper position. While it significantly improves steering and prevents evasive behaviors, it is important to note that it is designed specifically for use with snaffle bridles, which may limit its versatility for those using specialized bitting arrangements.

FAQs

Can this be used with a curb bit?

No, this noseband is specifically designed for use with a snaffle bridle.

Is the rubber portion flexible?

Yes, it is designed with a durable, flexible rubber to allow for some "give" while maintaining control.

How do I know if it fits correctly?

The noseband should sit comfortably across the nose, and the straps should connect to the bit rings without pulling the bit upward into the corners of the horse's mouth.

Can I use this for competition?

Please check your specific equestrian discipline's rulebook, as some sports have restrictions on specialized nosebands.

What is the primary function of this product?

Its primary function is to prevent tongue-over-bit issues and provide improved steering for strong-pulling horses.

Troubleshooting

Noseband slides to one side during riding

Ensure the headpiece attachment is centered correctly and the leather straps are adjusted evenly on both sides of the face.

Horse seems resistant to the bit

Check that the noseband is not adjusted too tightly. It should provide control without creating constant pressure on the nasal bone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively discourages tongue-over-bit behavior
  • Provides significant leverage for steering hard-pulling horses
  • Durable construction suitable for daily training use
  • Easy to install on most standard snaffle bridles

Cons

  • Compatible only with snaffle bridles
  • Requires careful adjustment to ensure proper pressure
  • Orange color may not match all traditional bridle sets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the noseband, attach the upper strap to the headpiece of your snaffle bridle so that it runs centered down the face. The split ends should be threaded through the snaffle bit rings and buckled securely. Ensure the noseband is not overly tight; it should rest firmly against the nose without causing discomfort or restricting the horse's breathing.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather: Clean the leather ends with a quality saddle soap after each use to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.
  • Rubber: Wipe the rubber section with a damp cloth to remove sweat, dirt, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber material.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of both the leather and the rubber components.
