This size chart is a guideline. Measurements are supplied by PS of Sweden.
- ✓ Sits higher on the nasal bone to remove pressure from the airways
- ✓ Adjusts to three different heights, making it very adaptable
- ✓ Cushion built into the noseband offers added stability
- ✓ Sensitive nerve endings are completely free from pressure and strain
- ✓ Choose a classically English, a training, or a combined noseband setting
The PS of Sweden Pioneer Noseband could be called the development of a regular drop noseband. It sits higher up on the nasal bone, which removes pressure from the airways and eliminates pressure around the bit. It also reduces pressure on the skeletal structure due to the gradual thinning of the nasal bone further down, and by relieving pressure in this area the risk of future injuries is minimised for a more comfortable fit.
The cushion built into the noseband offers added stability, which suits the younger horse. The noseband can be tightened at three different heights, making it very adaptable, and the options minimise the risk of the bit becoming locked. The sensitive nerve endings are completely free from pressure and strain. The rider can choose between an anatomical, more classically English noseband, an anatomical training noseband, or a combination of the two.
