A flash bridle is a type of English bridle that includes an extra, thinner strap — called a flash strap or flash noseband — in addition to the main cavesson (the standard noseband).

Here’s how it’s set up:

• The main cavesson goes around the horse’s nose and jaw, like in a regular bridle.

• The flash strap is attached to the front of the cavesson and runs downward, buckling under the horse’s chin in front of the bit.

Purpose of the flash strap:

• Helps keep the horse’s mouth closed, preventing it from opening wide or crossing its jaw to evade the bit.

• Can help stabilize the bit in the horse’s mouth.

• Often used in disciplines like eventing, show jumping, and dressage.

Important note:

• It should be fitted loosely enough for the horse to move and chew comfortably — overly tight flash nosebands can cause discomfort and even pain.

• Not every horse needs one; it’s more of a rider’s choice depending on the horse’s habits and discipline.
