Flash Nosebands

Just wondered - Do you do your flash up by pulling the leather strap in the UPWARDS direction into the buckle?
Or, do you do it the opposite way, by pulling leather strap downwards into buckle (towards the mouth).
Does it make any difference to any pressure points??

I always do my flash up upwards but that is purely because that way when you undo it the keeper doesn't fall off

I don't have mind done up tight so don't have pressure issues. I can't see it being an issue but I'm not sure.

I do mine going upwards, as then you don't have any straps or buckles going near their mouth like you do if they point downwards.

The end of mine points downwards.... no lost keepers and I hate to see the end of it pointing towards the horses face.

That said, every time i used to have a lesson I used to change it round before my instructor did!!!

Upwards

upwards, the buckle goes above her mouth and the end of the flash tucks in the front keeper to no sticky out bits

Downwards.
You can still have it pointing downwards without the buckle being anywhere near their mouth
