on howrse no
nope. the nose band came first.. if that's what you were asking..
undo the two skinny straps by the nose band and put the bit on and then close the straps.
Yes it is true. If you search on google images you can even see pictures of bridles without nosebands today.

There are the noseband, the head piece, the cheek piece, the bit, the throat lash, the reins and brow band. Sometimes you get flash bands. Take note that the western bridle doesn't have a noseband. Some don't have throat latches, and a few don't even have browbands.
It got blown off by the wind slowly. And over the years bit by bit it wore off and just disapeared. Answer It is possible that a human damaged the nose. The legend that Napoleon used it for target practice and knocked off the nose with a cannon ball has been around for centuries. However, drawings show the nose was missing even before that. Another possibility is damage done in the fifteenth century.
The purpose of a figure 8 is to keep the horse from opening his mouth and avoiding the bit, making the bit more effective. Since horses are individuals just like humans are, they require different tack.
....um...it's like...the size of a nose...maybe a bit bigger than my nose (we have teh same nose O_O)
It is a normal canvesson noseband, with an attachment with a strap that goews round the horses mouth in frot of the bit. It is used for more control and to stop the horse opening its jaw and pulling .
I don't have my nose pierced(but am considering it), but yes, nose piercings usually do leave a permanent hole. This is a bit off topic, but many employers will not hire individuals with facial piercings, no matter how qualified they are for the job. Just think before you commit to the procedure.
It hurts a little bit for one second. If feels like your nose is getting pinched.
The 'bridge' of the nose - is the part right at the top where it joins the skull. The bit where you rest your spectacles.
