Contour Patent Hanoverian Crank – Havana Noseband
This raised patent havana English Leather noseband is part of our popular Gel Snaffle range. Padded with our memory foam, this noseband molds to your horse’s face for reduced pressure on sensitive areas of the face.
All of our nosebands are double buckle nosebands, buckling on both sides of the headpiece. This helps to create a perfect fit and also reduces the volume of leather passing over the poll, reducing pressure and increasing comfort.
This noseband is a crank noseband, meaning that the closure of the noseband folds back on itself before buckling.
This style of closure can sometimes have a bad reputation, however these nosebands can and should be done loosely. When buckled correctly, this type of closure provides an even pressure over the entire surface of the noseband which helps to remove any possible pressure points and increase overall comfort for the horse.
This noseband is cut in our anatomical style. It is widest at the bridge of the horses nose, to effectively reduce pressure over this sensitive area, and tapers off to a narrower width at the sides of the face. This reduces the amount of noseband that sits behind the bit, helping to alleviate any possible irritation involving the cheekpiece, bit, or cheeks of the horse.
If you are buying a noseband for a non-Flexible Fit bridle that does not have attachments for double buckle nosebands, you may need to purchase one of our noseband converters.
