The adjustable noseband provides adjustable pressure over the nose which helps the horse to support the bit in a natural way, which is perfect for, for example, the young horse who is still in training or for the more sensitive horse who does not like to take support and releases contact with the bit. The noseband is also suitable for strong/hot horses who "lean on" as it helps the rider regulate the horse without a sharp bit or hard hand, the rider can work together with NirakTM and a suitable bit more easily. The fact that there is only one side piece that is connected to the noseband creates pressure on the nose with a rein pull, much like a hackamore. This pressure is adjustable, the further down on the nose it sits - the sharper the effect. The noseband is also upwardly curved, which reduces pressure on the airways. The noseband reduces the risk of bit-related injuries inside the mouth because it does not lie directly against the teeth.
