Give Your Horse the Relief They Deserve with Shires Velociti

If your horse has been acting "fussy" or tossing their head during transitions, it might not be a training issue—it could be the pressure from a traditional noseband. The Shires Velociti Noseband is designed specifically to move away from sensitive facial nerves and the delicate bones of the nasal bridge, providing an anatomical fit that lets your horse focus on the job at hand.

Crafted with the quality we’ve come to expect from Shires, this noseband combines technical ergonomics with beautiful aesthetics. Whether you're working on lateral movements in the arena or enjoying a long day on the trail, the Velociti line ensures your horse stays comfortable and responsive without the distraction of pinching or restrictive pressure.

Why Riders Choose the Velociti Noseband

• Anatomical Pressure Relief: The curved, "nerve-friendly" design follows the natural contour of the jaw to avoid the infraorbital nerves and thin nasal bones.
• Supple, Ready-to-Ride Leather: Made from pre-oiled harness leather or vegetable-tanned European leather, this noseband is soft "out of the box" to prevent rubbing on sensitive skin.
• Enhanced Focus and Relaxation: By reducing poll pressure and jaw tension, it’s the perfect solution for horses that are sensitive to traditional, straight-cut nosebands.
• Precision Fit for Every Breed: With a wide range of sizes from Small Pony to Extra Full, you can find the perfect circumference to ensure the bit functions correctly.
• Durable Craftsmanship: Built for the long haul, the high-quality stitching and hardware stand up to daily schooling and ranch work alike.

Who It’s For

Dressage riders and pleasure trail enthusiasts looking for an ergonomic solution to eliminate facial pressure and improve horse comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if the Shires Velociti Noseband fits correctly?

You should be able to fit two fingers between the noseband and your horse's jaw. It should sit approximately two fingers below the cheekbone to ensure it doesn't interfere with the bit or pinch the sensitive facial tissues.

Q: Does this noseband require a long break-in period?

Not at all. The Shires Velociti line uses high-quality, pre-oiled leather that is remarkably supple from day one, meaning less time oiling and more time in the saddle.

Q: Does the sizing run true to size?

Shires Velociti sizing can run a bit generous on the larger end of the spectrum. If your horse is between sizes, we recommend checking the specific circumference measurements to ensure a snug, anatomical fit.
