This size chart is a guideline. Measurements are supplied by PS of Sweden.
- ✓ Adjustable pressure over the nose helps the horse to support the bit
- ✓ The further down on the nose it sits, the sharper the effect
- ✓ Upwardly curved to reduce pressure on the airways
- ✓ Reduces the risk of bit-related injuries inside the mouth
The PS of Sweden Nirak™ Noseband gives adjustable pressure over the nose, which helps the horse to support the bit in a natural way. It suits the young horse who is still in training and the more sensitive horse that releases contact with the bit. It also suits strong or hot horses who lean on, as it helps the rider regulate the horse, and the rider can work together with Nirak™ and a suitable bit more easily.
One side piece connects to the noseband, which creates pressure on the nose with a rein pull, much like a hackamore. The pressure is adjustable: the further down on the nose it sits, the sharper the effect. The noseband is upwardly curved, which reduces pressure on the airways, and it reduces the risk of bit-related injuries inside the mouth because it does not lie directly against the teeth.
