Got asked this down the yard yesterday and it is bugging me:

Why is a flash called a flash noseband?

Why do we call heavy outdoor rugs New Zealands?

If anyone can help I would be very grateful

I may be wrong but wasn't the old fashioned canvas rugs called New Zealands? Not sure why they were called that though, maybe they were founded in NZ.

Not a clue about the flash though.

I thought it was because they originated in New Zealand? As it can get cold there?

The rugs are so called because I think they originated in NZ.

& the Flash, well maybe it's because it looks like a flash on the horses face? When viewed head on it's always looked like that to me anyway!

Flash is called a flash because people thought they looked more flashy than a drop

I thought it was called a flash because so often it's just a fashion accessory so I whip it off in a flash.
