Dy'on Adjustable Drop Noseband Headstall

To choose the size, measure the cheekpiece length and the nose circumference of your current bridle and compare them with the size you have in mind. If you are torn between Cob and Full, look mainly at the noseband: it should close in the middle of its adjustment range, not on the last hole.

A drop noseband is adjusted while your horse is wearing the bit. Place the strap so that it stays well below the cheekbone and fasten it with a couple of fingers of room to spare. Check again after a few rides: new leather stretches slightly during the first weeks.

Vegetable-tanned leather asks little, but it asks regularly. Wipe away sweat and sand after every ride with a lightly damp cloth, let the leather dry at room temperature and feed it every few weeks with leather balm or saddle soap. Never dry it near a stove or in full sun.

Choose this bridle if you want a drop noseband with a fine, adjustable fit and you like a classic, understated look. It suits dressage and daily training work, and young horses that still need to settle in the mouth.

If you would rather have a noseband that sits higher on the nose, or you are looking for a model with a flash strap under the bit, a combined model from our range is the better choice. And if what you mainly want is a bridle with shine and decorative stones for the arena, our range holds patent leather models with a decorative browband that answer that better.

Adjust the drop noseband while your horse is wearing the bit. Place it well below the cheekbone and fasten the slim pull-back fastening with a couple of fingers of room to spare. Check again after a few rides, as new leather stretches slightly during the first weeks. Reins are not included.
