What is the correct fitting for a flash noseband?

The correct fitting of a flash noseband is two fingers between it and the horse's nose. This allows for a secure but comfortable fit that does not restrict the horse's breathing or cause discomfort. It is important that the noseband is not too tight, as it could lead to issues such as chafing, pain, or difficulty in breathing, which can negatively impact the horse's performance and well-being.

Ensuring that there is enough space for two fingers provides a guideline for adjusting the noseband to a suitable position. This helps in maintaining the noseband's purpose of keeping the horse's mouth closed without causing distress. Adequate space is essential for proper functioning, allowing for some movement and preventing the horse from feeling overly constrained while still achieving the desired effect during riding or training.
