I think someone responded to the original post and said it was suppose to stop excessive lip movement.

Woah, I have no idea what that is. Halp?
ridingrulez answered:
alot of the big jumpers use these (can’t remember the name) to protect their horses’ chins from their knees when they’re clearing the jump :)

Maybe so they cant chew or get the rings in their mouth?
be-forever-youngg answered:

Its a chin guard used to stop eccessive lip movement and opening of jaw. Used in showjumping.

It’s super weird looking but it may be some kind of spit-guard? I don’t know

wow…it’s the first time i see something like that…o.O i also want to know what it is!!
mckennadeputy answered:
I think it’s to keep them from biting at the martingale. Some horses do it as a habit but they can get badly hurt or panic if they get stuck

Might be to keep the horse from moving the bit around in his mouth. i know some horses can manage to get it under their tongues.
hashtag-youreit answered:
It’s not a flash and it’s not used to get a horse round. It looks like a blanket bib so my guess is to protect chin from knocking?
graysonsgotswag answered:
i don’t know for sure, but in the pictures it looks like the riders don’t have stops for the martingales so maybe its to keep it from sliding

This is called a flash. It keeps the horses mouth closed
poniesandpearls answered:
I would assume something to help them keep their jaw closed to prevent evading the bit… But idk!
tallandskinnygirlslikefashion answered:
I think its just for looks, I don’t think it has an actual use. But I may be mistaken
myofficeglows answered:
Good god I can’t find anything online about this!! It’s killing me!! haha
talkdontchangeathing answered:
the only thing i can think of is a spit guard to keep the foam from splashing on their chest/front legs. but i don’t really know lol
aileybayy answered:
I have no idea, but please post if you get the answer, because now I’m curious too! :]
rightlead answered:
I dont know the only think i can think of is it is to keep the horses mouth closed instead of opining and closing when chewing on the bit.
k-elseybaby answered:
the bit?
hxcspazz answered:
It’s called a running martingale and basically gives the rider some leverage, especially with horses who toss/raise their heads.
eventingqueen answered:
That is to help get the horse round (from my experience…. I think) :)
liina-ok answered:
wow I have never even seen one of those lol
