Description

This cavesson features an adjustable harness leather noseband to keep your horse from opening its mouth to avoid signals. Use this training tool to encourage your horse to accept the bit by using the adjustment on the back to fit it to your horse. A good rule of thumb is to leave a finger-width space between your horse's face and the noseband once your horse is used to the cavesson. Martin Saddlery strap is hand-oiled and hand-finished the traditional cowboy way. Some variations in leather tones may occur.

  • Adjustable harness leather noseband
  • Prevents mouth opening
  • Encourages bit acceptance
  • Fits securely with back adjustment
  • Comfortable fit with finger-width spacing
