The wide, anatomical noseband is designed to leave the cheekbones and nerve endings free, achieved by it being swept up and extra wide. The noseband is equipped with very soft padding to prevent pressure and rubbing around the horse's jaw. We have chosen the pullback strap because the padded cushion underneath always stays centered when you tighten the noseband, regardless of whether you use the outermost or innermost hole. The bridle comes with a removable Aachen strap so you can easily vary it depending on what your horse requires. The noseband has two looks, one with a lacquered noseband and round-stitched details, while the other is entirely leather with flat sidepieces.
