noseband
Equine muzzle strap
A noseband is the part of a horse's bridle that encircles the nose, sitting above the bit.
It helps control the horse and keeps the mouth closed.
Different styles—cavesson, flash, figure-eight—serve varying purposes in riding disciplines: The dressage rules specify how tight the noseband can be.
