The noseband is an essential part of the bridle and plays a vital role in communication between rider and horse . At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully curated collection of nosebands anatomically shaped for comfort, control, and elegance . Each noseband is designed to allow subtle aids, while respecting the anatomy and sensitivity of the horse's head.

Anatomical design and soft comfort

Our nosebands are made of high-quality, supple leather that conforms to the shape of the nose without pressing or chafing. Thanks to soft padding, rounded edges, and ergonomic shapes, they guarantee maximum comfort and balanced pressure distribution. Each model supports a stable bit position , while allowing the horse to chew freely and breathe relaxed.

The right type of noseband for every rider and discipline

At Maddelin you will find nosebands for every type of bridle and every training goal:

• Crank noseband – stabilizes the bit and prevents opening of the mouth, without pinching.
• Combination noseband – a classic choice for show jumping and dressage riders, elegant and functional.
• Mexican noseband – offers more freedom at the nose and jaw, ideal for jumping or eventing.
• High English noseband – for a refined, calm appearance.
• Anatomical nosebands – with special cutouts for sensitive nerve pathways.

All models are available in different sizes and colours, so you can perfectly match them to your bridle and horse.

Luxurious materials and finishes

As you'd expect from Ruitersport Maddelin , our nosebands are crafted from premium leather and finished with rustproof buckles, double stitching, and soft padding . Whether you choose a classic black model with a subtle sheen or a modern design with patent leather or white piping , every noseband exudes quality and craftsmanship.

Combine and personalize

Our nosebands are compatible with many bridles in the Maddelin range.
This way, you can easily create your ideal combination: bridle, noseband, browband, and reins , completely tailored to your taste and discipline. For a harmonious look, we're happy to advise you on which models are the best visual and technical match.

Maintenance and lifespan
