browband
Bridle's front piece
A browband is the part of a horse's bridle that crosses the forehead, connecting the cheekpieces and preventing the headstall from sliding back.
It sits just below the ears: She adjusted the browband before mounting.
Browbands range from plain leather to decorative styles with beading or crystals for show horses.
