What is another type of noseband for an English bridle?
Hi
My riding instructor has given me some homework to do I need to find 4 or more types of nosebands for an English bridle.
So far I have got Flash, Cavesson and Grackle. I need to know some more types so if you could suggest any that would be great.
Thanks 
Here we use,Cavesson,Flash,Drop,Grackle, the Grackle can be purchased with a slightly different design the first one being.
The Mexican Grackle/High Ring Grackle,these do not press on the cheek teeth.
The Barnsby FTS Grackle, this one has elasticated sections offering a little give.
So these would also be classed as a different noseband that we would use on our English Bridles. Hope this gives you a little info, also the Grackle got its name from a Grand National Winner who pulled to much.

How to make a Flash Noseband Bridle

First off, many thanks OTB for your caring and concern. I appreciate every kindness extended to me at this time. I'm doing okay, Monty and I had been dealing with his condition for a long time and the result was what I had been slowly preparing myself for. It doesn't make it any easier but at least I wasn't blindsided by it.
Now, since your current topic is a favorite of mine and I sure need the diversion, let's have a tack chat!
I also agree with greyhorsematters about cleaning up your “cheap” bridle and attempting to use it. But please don't call it a “cheap” bridle, I like to refer to those as a “schooling” bridle. Maybe if you present it as asking to use your schooling bridle, so you can save the finer equipment for shows, it will be accepted as such and there will be no problem. Monty had a very high quality Beval hunter bridle for shows but you could see from the recent photos the fun/funky stuff we schooled in!
As for using Genny's fancy bridle, I know how you feel. I hated using my old mare's show bridle when I first got Monty. It was like, disrespectful to her achievements to use it on the greenie. My trainer was even funny about it for a different reason, he used to really dislike that mare. He begged me to hurry up and buy Monty his own bridle because he was afraid the mare's “evil mojo” would wear off on him! ;0
The woman who owned the farm where I boarded my old mare years ago used to retire the bridle when the horse was gone. In the years I was there, I think about 5 horses had passed and she had a brass rack set up on the wall in the den where each horses' bridle was hung as a sort of memorial. Her husband's field hunter, the family pony, her daughter's Grand Prix dressage horse, it was kind of bittersweet seeing the bridles there, like they were waiting to go for one more ride.
Okay, I'm getting to be a downer, sorry. But I know how you feel. First see how it goes with the schooling bridle. Keep Genny's bridle sacred awhile longer. Try using gloves when you have to tack up with Texas' usual tack so you don't have to deal with the sticky-ickys. If you want to try a synthetic bridle, I have a nice, horse sized, black Wintec bridle with flash nose and really nice TDT reins. I'm not going to be needing it and I'm willing to sell, if you want to email me about it, please do.
