What is the purpose of coronet band?

Coronet bands are usually used on horses for purposes such as training and competition.

- In training, coronet bands play an important role in desensitizing the horse's coronet band area. This is done by applying pressure to the area which helps the horse to become accustomed to the sensation. Desensitization is beneficial during farrier work like hoof trims and shoeing.

- They can also be used in competitions as a way to prevent the horse from overreaching and interfering with its hind legs.
