Muserola

The muserola (from the French musserolle) is the belt that is placed 3 or 4 inches above the horse's saddles, making the job of a kind of soft and soft head.

It goes through the branches of the flange, surrounds the bottom of the head and closes by means of a buckle placed over the barb.

Sometimes it prevents the play of the two branches of the flange, which it maintains in a fixed position, thus increasing the effect of the snack with the gentle pressure exerted on the nose of the horse when the rider uses the flange.

The horses destined to the harassment of wild cattle, in Andalusia, are put a serreta in the muserola that prevents them to open the mouth and to avoid the action of the morsel.
