Ashley55 Report post Posted December 16, 2020 Curious what the best way to go about making bronc style nosebands is. The first way I tried was 2 layers of 6/7oz sewn together. But that was thick and "flat" and really hard to shape over the horses nose once finished. The second way I tried was to wet and shape into a U shape, and then sew together. Which gave the right shape over the nose, but was kind of a pain to sew. So my question is, what's the easiest way to go about it, while also getting it to sit nicely over the horses nose?

keplerts Report post Posted December 16, 2020 I usually use 7/8 for the top layer and then line the back with a 2-3 oz liner. Then bend it and kind of pre-shape it. It will conform to the horses nose over time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley55 Report post Posted December 16, 2020 Thank you for the reply! Do you find that's thick enough? I'm always paranoid about it being too thin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keplerts Report post Posted December 18, 2020 That is plenty thick enough. Plus, you need to be able to get the concho screws thru the leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
