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.

What type of leather is used?

Where can I find replacement parts?

Troubleshooting

Noseband appears too tight.

Loosen the straps and ensure the noseband sits correctly on the horse's face. Check the fit, ensuring two fingers can be placed between the noseband and the face.

Leather is stiff or cracking.

Apply leather conditioner regularly to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Store the noseband in a cool, dry place.

Sheepskin padding looks dirty.
