Where does a Drop Noseband sit on a horse?

The Drop Noseband is designed to sit below the horse's nose. It is a specific type of noseband that helps keep the horse’s mouth closed and prevents them from evading the bit during riding. This positioning below the nose is crucial because it provides additional leverage, keeping the jaw flexible and encouraging a more submission in the horse’s frame. By maintaining this position, it ensures that the noseband does not interfere with normal breathing while providing effective communication between the rider and the horse.

In contrast, options that suggest the noseband is placed above the mouth, on the chin, or around the throat do not accurately describe the Drop Noseband's function or its intended placement. These positions would not allow for the intended function of controlling the horse's mouth effectively, which is a primary feature of the Drop Noseband in equestrian practice.
