How often should I clean the sheepskin padding?

Clean the sheepskin padding regularly as needed, using a specialized sheepskin cleaner to remove dirt and sweat.

Is this noseband suitable for all horses?

While the Velociti Rapida Grackle Noseband can be used for a wide range of horses, it is particularly useful for those that evade the bit or require extra control. It's essential to assess the horse's needs and ensure proper fitting.
