Well I was at a Dressage show all day yesterday, and I saw a lot of
them.....and they sell drop nose cavesons at the western tack place,
its made by Weaver as part of their Western Tack.
And yes the majority of Us riders ride Western...however there are so
many millions of riders that even a small percentage of Us riders

country....
