Hi Laura, >>>So...why is it that I only hear it said within Icelandic circles that the dropped noseband is only for "steadying the bit in the horse's mouth?"
That is why WE use them. We don't use browbands or throatlatches on our and so we use dropped noseband BUT they are not tight - our horses can always eat crunchies and carrots very easily. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
