The noseband is a part of the bridle. It's the part that goes on the top of the horses muzzle.

It's called a flash which connects to the regular noseband but then goes below the horse's chin.
The noseband of the bridle is the circular strap of leather that goes over the nose, just below the cheek bones. The noseband is used to help guide the horse and hold the bridle in place.
If you mean noseband, it is the strip of leather, nylon or rope that goes around the horse's nose on the bridle. It is also called a caveson and there are many varying types including a flash or figure8 noseband. A bridle does not necessary have to have a noseband - many western headstalls do not.
The cavesson is in reference not to a horse but to a piece of horse equipment. This term can be used for a lunging cavesson, or the noseband of a bridle.
There is no such thing as a flash bridle, but there is a flash noseband. This noseband is a normal noseband with an extra strap added, which goes around the horse's mouth in front of the bit. This is used on horses who open their mouths a lot, or eat on trails.
Probably not. Although early horse tack predates written records the bit most likely came after the noseband. The bit was attached to an already existing headstall for better control of the horse.
nope. the nose band came first.. if that's what you were asking..
Attach the martingale to the girth and around the horse's neck, but don't attach it to the noseband. For a standing martingale, the noseband attachment should reach to the horse's throat latch and halfway up the horse's neck. For a running martingale, the rings should almost reach to the horse's withers

I wrap vetrap around the noseband. It seems to help. When I work at the Thoroughbred sales, they use strips of soft polo wraps.
AnswerThe noseband is on the bridle. I think that the noseband is used to prevent the horse from pulling it's head out of the bridle.There are several uses for a noseband. On race horses, you might see a large plush noseband which prevents the horse from seeing his shadow and being distracted.Some bridles have nose bands for decoration, especially those for parades with silver on them.If the horse requires a tie down or martingale to prevent head tossing or carrying his head too high, it will be attached to a noseband.On some bridles, there is often a separate headstall with a fairly tight nose band which prevents the horse from opening his mouth too far and putting his tongue over the bit. a horses tongue must always be under the bit, in order to prevent injuring him. Some horses are masters at getting their tongues over the top of the bit.
