[1]: 193–94 [2]: 66-7 A longeing cavesson consists of a heavy, padded noseband, metal rings to attach the longe line, a throatlatch, and sometimes additional straps such as a jowl strap or a browband for added stability.
The noseband should be just below the cheekbone, several inches above the nostrils sitting on the nasal bone, and fitted snugly.
The jowl strap should be very snug to prevent the cavesson from slipping into the horse's eye.
The key feature of a longeing cavesson is the strategic placement of rings for varying places to attach the longe line: one at the top of the nasal bone and one each side of the noseband.
If the bridle also has its own cavesson, it may need to be removed to reduce bulk and avoid interference with other components.
