LeMieux Antibacterial Towelling Noseband Pad for Bridles
Description
LeMieux Noseband Pad — Soft Towelling Comfort Under the Noseband
The LeMieux Noseband Pad is a padded sleeve that wraps around the noseband of a bridle to cushion the horse's nose and jaw and help prevent rubbing. It is made from soft antibacterial foam with a soft towelling lining that sits against the skin and wicks moisture away.
It is best for horses in regular schooling, hacking or in-hand work, horses with sensitive skin, and any horse that has started to show rub marks or hair loss along the noseband line. Fitting takes seconds and the bridle does not need to be dismantled.

How to Use
- Unfasten the hook and loop straps and open the pad out flat.
- Position the pad along the noseband with the towelling side facing the horse's skin.
- Wrap the pad around the noseband so the gripper surface contacts the leather.
- Close the hook and loop straps firmly so the pad cannot slide.
- Re-check the noseband adjustment, as the added thickness can tighten the fit.
- Remove after use and allow the towelling to dry fully before storing.
FAQ
What does a noseband pad do?
It sits between the noseband and the horse's skin to cushion pressure and reduce rubbing. The towelling lining also wicks moisture away during work.
Will it fit my bridle?
The pad wraps around the noseband and secures with hook and loop straps, so it suits standard cavesson-style nosebands across pony, cob and full size bridles. Check the width of your noseband before ordering if it is unusually wide or padded.
Does the pad slip along the noseband?
The noseband side has a gripper surface as well as hook and loop straps, which together hold it in position during work.
Do I need to adjust my noseband after fitting it?
Yes, it is worth re-checking. The pad adds thickness, so the noseband may sit tighter than usual and may need loosening a hole.
How do I clean it?
Remove the pad from the bridle, clean the towelling to keep it hygienic and let it dry fully before refitting. Avoid storing it damp against leather.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. It is designed for everyday schooling, hacking and in-hand work, and can be moved between bridles as needed.
