I was just on Facebook wondering whether Cyberhorse still existed, and it does.

This is correct, but we Australians put the names backwards, the Hanoverian noseband (as we call it) is actually from Bavaria, and the drop noseband...

Is that Maxxxx Abbott?? I have some news if it is, xxx

Hi Bats, I am not silver haired either, but I do get a little help with that one, xxx

Hi Centaur, nice to say hi again after all this time ... and to all the CH community, I hope y ou are all well, xxx

They were indeed.

I use a Hannoverian as I find it hard to find a drop that fits properly. That said I can get 2 fingers under both sections of the noseband and it...

Ah ok. Sorry gb. Me over sensitive. :)

Not you midders.....

Gas buster, I think the answer to your question is (wait for it...) Fashion!! The Hanoverian noseband came into fashion quite a few years ago and has...

Yes they were the fun days, talking to people we know and like to communicate with, xxx

I would have thought that I made myself absolutely clear. I don’t use the Hanoverian because it needs to be done up too tightly for my own personal...

You still haven’t actually answered the question....why use one over the other....you’ve just given a lecture on how it should be fitted, and how you...

For when I take him for a gallop around the paddocks teeg. He is a dressage horse and a great one (can you tell I’m a tad biased) but we can still...

My drop is adjusted well up on his nose and is there to prevent him from gaping his mouth wide open and why would a dressage horse, sans...

But why?????

I suspect it would be difficult these days to find a Hanovarian noseband that was made to my linking. The modern Hanovarian noseband is made to be...

Haven’t answered the question teegs...

Fei rules mandate a noseband… ea ( with no morals or scruples) tags along hanging by the shirt sleeves... This rule is just one of many...

I am only replying from memory as to why we were encouraged to change to the Hanoverian years ago. As a kid my horse always had a drop noseband ( my...

Wow! Lots of old familiar names, I used to really enjoy the discussions around here....I don't do social media so pop in here and check out the...

I think you may have nailed it werdun, I just hope sooner or later the poor horse gets rewarded I guess, but as you say, they see it as fixing the...

I think you’re right Werdun. Or maybe the horse just does it because he can. More core strength or a better position in the saddle or jcr’s neck...

I don't know about that!? I have a patch of about 15 in a really obvious place 😂😂 Almost 30 now, time has flown.

It always comes back to why. Why is he doing it in the first place. Usually, this problem is one, some or all of these factors: - Too much...

The horse was backed at 2 - and will be 3 soon, the rider had the same issues with an older OTTB I have seen them try side reins, and they say the...

Hi Cyrus, I would probably try a neck strap to keep my hands still and a firm grip on reins. Lunging with side reins is also an option Sounds as...
