Having a tight Cavesson or Cavesson Flash or a Grackle noseband on your Horse does not actually teach your Horse anything. It just creates the same relentless pressure around your Horses face for as long as the Noseband is fastened. The upper parts of these nosebands are placed around the Horses face directly over the molar teeth, which means as the noseband is tightened the flesh on the inside of the Horse’s cheeks gets crushed onto the molar teeth.
It makes no sense to try to control the face from half way up instead of at the end it actually opens.
The Relaxer Drop Noseband has been designed to address this situation. The Drop Noseband is one of the only Noseband designs that does not sit over the Horses upper jaw. Because of the innovative elastic design of the Relaxer Nosepiece when the Noseband is done up correctly the Nosepiece is just snug against the face but if the Horse starts to open the mouth to resist the Bit the Nosepiece tightens on the face. This gives the Horse a humane but firm signal to close the mouth and relax the jaw again and as he closes the mouth the Nosepiece goes back to just a snug fit.
The padded and adjustable front allows for a perfect fit while the long back strap allows the noseband to sit correctly high on the front of the Horses face and the unique “give” encourages your Horse to relax into his work without force.
