Hi >>>I am not sure how you spell that. Ha Ha. The bridle that came with Dagur has a noseband or Cavasan. It is a snaffle bit. Is it necessary to use the Cavasan?
A caveson is the name for a noseband that does up a couple of inches below the horse's cheekbones and goes under, or is attached by the browband under the headstall that holds the bit. In different countries they have different names for that type of noseband as with the dropped noseband. >>>She said it kept his mouth closed or something like that. That is why most people use nosebands and I think that is NOT a good reason to use one but it is totally a personal choice about whether you use one or not. Try him without it and then with it and see what the difference is, just be sure to do it on the same day to get a better comparison. I don't always use a noseband but think it gets way overdiscussed, as long as they are not tight. I find that using a complete bridle with browband and throatlatch is much more hassle to fit because we use the same bridle for many different horses. I also find that many browbands are too short for a broad forehead and press into the horse's ears. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
