A noseband for a horse bridle is specifically designed, structured and configured to direct the cheekpieces along the sides of the horse's face and away from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and nerves that run along the cheek bones, thereby avoiding TMJ damage, while also eliminating pressure at the horse's poll and back of the ears. A cheekstrap holds the cheekpieces snug against the opposite sides of the horse's face to discourage lateral (side-to-side) movement of the mandible (i.e., lower jaw) and undesirable displacement of the tongue out of the sides of the mouth while also assisting to hold the cheekpieces away from the TMJ and cheekbones.

The present invention is a modified sliding martingale. Instead of the rein-rings (common to all, except the Standing Martingale, or Tie Down that is attached to a noseband and not the reins), the rein-rings of the sliding martingale of the present invention are sliding on a continuous loop perpendicular to the horse cervical spine (his neck). The loop is attached in front of the chest to a standard martingale chest strap and a leather loop around the neck, both of them adjustable to the horse's size and conformation.

An equestrian control device and methods of use. The control device includes an improved curb strap device for installation into a bit of a bridle assembly. The device includes an assembly of a looped-strap pair located about an elongated member having installed thereon a plurality of serially attached elements. The straps can be secured to a shank-type bit installed in the mouth of the equine, which can further be secured to reins. In combination, specialized straps and serially attached elements combine to increase comfort of the equine and the rider's ability to control the equine. Additional biasing features of the strap assembly and strap-alternative assemblies are disclosed to supplement this comfort and control. A method of installing and using the device.
