I’m looking to buy a sidepull noseband to concert my regular bridle into a bitless bridle, as my horse has a nice bridle and I’d rather not have to buy a whole new bridle if I can help it!

I’ve looked at two different types of nosebands (the orbitless http://www.orbitlessbridle.co.uk/Shop.html and a side side pull http://www.bitlessandbarefoot.com/on-line-shop.php#!/Sidepull-Noseband/p/29643477 ). Both state they are suitable for use with an existing bridle but neither seem to have the additional strap of leather I was expecting that would go over the horse’s poll that an ordinary noseband would have. Am I missing a trick on how you would attach it? Would it attach to the bit cheek pieces instead?

If HHO can’t help, I’ll email the sellers for fitting instructions but thought I’d try asking my stupid question here first to save some embarrassment …. As at least you have some anonymity here on HHO :D

I just attached my orbitless noseband to the cheekpieces! I'm not sure about the sidepull though! x
