A handy option for the horse that works better without a mouthpiece, but still needs plenty of communication going into and through the turn.

The rope noseband gives you side-pull action and bend, helping you guide the horse’s nose and shape the turn while still allowing them to relax and stay comfortable in the setup.

Choose the shank length based on how much whoa you need. The 6" shank keeps the feel lighter and quicker, while the 7" shank gives you more stopping power for the horse that needs a stronger reminder to rate.

Best For
Barrel horses that need bend, side-pull control, and rate without using a bit in the mouth.

Feel
Responsive and freeing with good lateral feel. The 6" keeps things lighter, while the 7" adds more whoa when you need it.

Rider Note
A good choice for one that needs a break from a mouthpiece or simply runs better in a hackamore. Go with the 6" for a lighter feel, or step up to the 7" when you need more stop.

Build Info
Available with a 6" or 7" shank and rope noseband. The 7" provides more stopping power than the 6".
