Some nosebands do not have buckles for adjustment. Use two to three fingers' width between the noseband and your horse's face as a guideline. The noseband must be adjusted snugly enough that the horse cannot get a foot or another object caught in it, but loosely enough that he can open his mouth, chew and breathe freely. It should sit about halfway between the horse's eyes and nostrils, lying under the horse's cheekbones so that the hardware joining the nose piece, chin strap and cheek piece does not press into the horse's cheek bone. In the case of two buckles, try to use symmetrical holes for the crownpiece setting.Ģ) Check the noseband portion of the halter. Some halters have buckles on both sides of the crownpiece, and some have only one buckle on the left side. The crownpiece should fit over the horse's poll, close to the back of the horse's ears, but not press into them.
