When wearing a shadow roll in place of a regular noseband, “if the horse raises his head too high, he cannot see over it,” said flat trainer Bertrand de Brevedent. “This encourages the horse to lower his head.”
Another noseband variation in wide use is the figure-eight, a thin strap wrapping around the upper jaw and lower jaw. The figure-eight helps keep the mouth shut, something a hard-pulling horse may not be inclined to do when at full gallop.
