Haha I forget that some places have to deal with cold bits. I live in south, south SOUTH Texas. It gets cold for maybe a week. I wore shorts on Christmas... So we don't have to worry about cold bits that much. ^.^

Very neat little informational.

There's tons of 'how to draw horses' strips and books out there, but it's really nice to see some focus on tack and other aspects of the horse world.

One small thing: a drop noseband and a flash noseband (which you have pictured here 5th and 6th from the top) are very different. Flash attachments can be added to or removed from the standard cavesson noseband depending on the type of attachment you have. It is used fairly equally between jumpers in competition or schooling and dressage riders who are schooling or showing lower levels.

Drop nosebands, though, are different. Instead of having the cavesson noseband and the added flash, the noseband becomes the flash, dropping lower over the nose to come in front of the bit like so . These are not used hardly ever in the jumping world because they can sometimes impede the air intake through the nasal cavities -- especially if used improperly. More commonly, it's used by classical dressage riders when hacking out or schooling because it's said to be more comfortable for the horse's mouth than the use of a flash attachment.
