[RC] nosebands for S-hackamores - Lysane Cree - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

I'm glad you brought up the noseband question, I'd like to know too.
And I've also wondered about the fleece impeding the vision of the horse
too.  I know I wouldn't like something big and fuzzy on my nose, but
then, I'm not a horse.  Lol

I am going to try out an s-hack this weekend and have been thinking a
bit about options if I do decide to stick with it. I am almost 100% sure
that my mare will be fine in it at home as she is very good about giving
to pressure and listens well to light touch, but the first loop of a
ride might be a different story. :) 
I am keeping the option open though that if it does work well, I could
always start in a bit and then go to the s-hack a little later in the
ride. Anyway, all that to say, I am wondering about the noseband. 

Biothane versus rope. Seems the biothane one would be the kindest
option, and not rub face hair, but not sure how much it changes the whoa
factor?? Another option is keeping the rope noseband and just covering
it with fleece - but I always wondered about putting a piece of fleece
over my horse's nose...isn't it going to affect how much she sees
directly below and in front of her? She is very good about where she
puts her feet, dodging around rocks and stuff on trail and when she
needs to she will drop her head a bit and look at stuff (like crossing a
pile of rocks or a creek or ditch), so I wouldn't to prevent her from
doing that. 

Thanks.
