Why use a tack noseband?

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.
