🐎 Why choose this product?
A sidepull acts laterally on the nose, without shanks or leverage: the left rein asks the horse to turn left, and the right rein to turn right. It is the most straightforward bitless design for a horse to understand, and is used for starting a young horse or giving a horse's mouth a rest.
🧴 Care instructions
Clean the leather with glycerine soap after each use, then condition it regularly. ⚠️ Never dry it near a heat source: the leather will harden and crack. Check the stitching and buckles, as these are the parts most likely to fail first. The crystals are set deeply; nevertheless, avoid rubbing the browband with an abrasive product. ⚠️ Adjustment: position the noseband two fingers below the cheekbone, and you should be able to fit two flat fingers between it and the nasal bone. A noseband that is too tight prevents the horse from chewing, which goes against the comfort intended here.
