This gives flexibility in a race to ride with or without a bit without changing bridles; The nose band is padded to give extra comfort to the horse and is easily adjusted to fit as a sidepull of a headcollar. The bit can be quickly taken off at vet gates by unclipping the bit hangers; The head collar and browband then remain on the horse.
