In my opinion, it is too easy to get the dropped noseband too tight and thus prevent them from relaxing their jaws and opening their mouths, and also cut off some of their nostril flaring capacity. I want my horse to ba able to open her mouth if I am getting too heavy handed - useful feedback for me.
