I've just began using a figure eight noseband on my four year old gelding. I use a loose ring french link, and I have fairly light hands. So far he's been going on the bit beautifully, not overbending at all and it seems to fit his face ( He's got a very long head) better than his previous bridle (plain raised). Just wondering what experiences people have had in the past with figure eights, especially with young and green horses.
Thanks!
