For the past four years, we have investigated the pressures beneath nosebands adjusted from 2.0 to 0.0 finger tightness with 0.0 finger tightness indicating that the noseband was touching but not compressing the skin.

In this study we measured pressures beneath the noseband when horses were standing still and when the ingested and chewed a treat.

The research addresses the concern that poor noseband adjustment could create high pressures that may risk pain or tissue damage. This study, along with our previous one, provide quantitative data regarding pressures associated with different degrees of noseband tightness.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:

🐴 Sub-noseband pressures were highest under the mandibles followed by the sides of the nasal bones.

🐴 All horses willingly ingested and chewed a treat at all noseband tightness levels.

🐴 Noseband pressures were higher when chewing a treat vs. standing at all noseband settings.

🐴 There was no difference in noseband pressure between 2.0 and 1.5 finger tightness when standing or chewing a treat.

🐴Eye temperature and blink rate, which are indicators of pain/discomfort, did not change when the noseband was tightened.

🐴 Even at the tightest setting (0:0 fingers = noseband just touching the skin NOT compressing), maximal noseband pressures were considerably lower than those reported to cause pain/discomfort.

As always, this is a team effort. Thank you to our research assistants, riders, owners and horses.

Thank you to our funders, World Horse Welfare, British Equestrian, Canadian Sport Horse Association, The Worshipful Company of Saddlers and Hartpury University.
