Robert Whitakers Catwalk IV noseband

[OliveBuffy1129]

Can anyone tell me what noseband he uses and what it does? I saw it at Olympia on Catwalk IV and have never come across it before?

They explained its to stop him grabbing the martingale straps when he is jumping.

Do you mean the rope and drop combined noseband rather than the plastic guard to stop horse grabbing martingale..?

Yes right, Stressed out horse big time, would I want to put a mare to this horse big time NO!

The one I saw him in was a rope / drop combi used with a combi style bit - so the harder he pulls the harsher the bit becomes. Mylar make them - and I have a feeling the whittaker range do too. Robert wasn't the only Whittaker using one!

I was watching some of Olympia that I taped last night, I uite a few horses with this type of noseband, I did wonder what they were now I know.

 

[Goldenstar]

Has he not he been gelded ? I thought he had.
