I am hovering with my finger over the “add to cart” button for a bridle with rose-gold accents. It’s beautiful. I don’t own a horse and my part-lease fella has a bridle of his own, but, let us not let facts interfere.
Does anyone shift the flash noseband around so that it is positioned like a regular noseband and doesn’t interfere with the bit? Is that heresy? Would that defeat the purpose of an allegedly anatomical bridle? (I don’t show, and ride very basic dressage-ish-ly only.)
The idea you have is not compatible with this particular bridle.
First of all, you have no choice, but to make that adjustment in the cheek piece. If you do that, you raise the entire caveson above the anatomical landmarks. So you would be putting the jowel strap too far back, you would also be putting the curve in the Caveson too far up, and right on top of the cheekbone, which it is designed to go around. So no. Don’t do it. Look for a different bridle. Or just ride with the flash part loose.

Ahhhhhhhh. Thank you.
