Bottom panel
A floor cover is a nose pad for horses, usually made of lambskin or similar bulky material, also called a nose protector. It is pulled over the noseband of the bridle and is usually fastened with Velcro fasteners.
Floor panels are mainly used in gallop / trot racing to prevent the horse from being unsettled by apparent or actual floor irregularities, such as shadows or the like, during the race.
The bottom panel may have a maximum diameter of 15 cm and is prohibited in many tests.
