Tip/Quote of the Day # 629

Make sure that your flash or figure eight noseband is not restricting your horse's breathing! There should be at least four fingers of room between the bottom strap and your horses nostril, otherwise you ARE at risk for restricting your horse's breathing! This photo shows a flash that is way too low. To fix this situation, the noseband itself needs to be higher and possibly a bit tighter. Then the flash attachment will sit correctly.
