PATENT PENDING
We are thrilled to introduce our latest innovation: The Boca Edge nosebands! Designed to enhance your horse's stability, leverage, and overall performance, this cutting-edge addition to the Boca Brand lineup is perfect for riders seeking better communication and control.
Much like our popular Boca curb straps, the Boca Edge nosebands are built on our widely acclaimed, patent-pending design. They are available in customizable options to suit your needs:
- Boca Elite: Featuring silicone beads for a softer feel.
- Boca B Line: Featuring steel beads (available at a later date).
To add a personal touch, you can coordinate the colors of the Boca Edge with your Boca curb straps for a cohesive and stylish look!
Maximizing the Boca Edge Noseband: Two Effective Uses
The Boca Edge Noseband offers versatility and can be utilized in two key ways to enhance your riding experience:
1. Enhanced Stability
For greater stability, attach the Boca Edge to the top of your shank. This placement helps keep the cheek pieces on the bridle straight and directs the pull toward the horse's poll. By ensuring the bit remains upright in the corners of the horse’s mouth, the Boca Edge minimizes movement, preventing the bit from hanging loosely. This setup stabilizes the bit, maintaining its position until rein action is applied.
2. Increased Control
When your bit includes a designated attachment point for a noseband—usually at the center of the shank's purchase—the Boca Edge can be connected here for enhanced leverage. This setup applies additional pressure to the horse’s nose when rein pressure is engaged, promoting improved collection and snappier turns.
- For Directional Guidance: By turning your hand outward during a turn, the noseband activates, functioning more like a hackamore or side pull to guide the horse laterally.
For a visual guide on these configurations, refer to the provided pictures.
Craftsmanship and Comfort
Each Boca Edge noseband is crafted with durability in mind. Made from sturdy cable and fitted with two snaps at either end, these nosebands are designed to fit most bits and horses while ensuring maximum comfort and ease of use.
Key Benefits of the Boca Edge Noseband
- Increased Stability: Keeps the bit secure in the corners of the horse’s mouth, preventing it from resting on the sensitive bars.
- Encourages Better Bit Contact: Discourages mouth gaping and bit evasion, ensuring clearer communication between horse and rider.
- Enhanced Responsiveness: Multiple pressure points created by the beads increase sensitivity, enabling precise rein control.
- Improved Balance: Supports balance during quick, powerful maneuvers, helping horse and rider perform at their best.
- Promotes Collection: Aids in achieving collection and sharper turns for a more polished performance.
Versatility in Communication: Transforming Your Favorite Bits
The Boca Edge noseband allows you to turn many of your favorite bits into effective combo bits. Combo bits are unique because the bit and the noseband can function independently, offering greater versatility in communication. This combination ensures precise cues tailored to your needs, whether you’re seeking control, softness, or direction.
With the Boca Edge, you can elevate your horse's performance, refine your riding technique, and enhance your connection in the saddle. Whether you’re focusing on stability or leverage, this innovative noseband has you covered!
