A nose bag is a bag, filled with horse food, and attached to the head of a horse, enabling it to eat. The main advantages are that only a small amount of the food is wasted, and it prevents one horse eating another one’s food. The bag also allows the horse to eat on a long journey away from its stable. This bag is made of what looks like jute and leather. Most modern bags are made of nylon, with a solid bottom and mesh sides for ventilation. To get at the feed near the bottom of the bag, the horse needs to be able to touch its head to the ground, allowing it to push its nose into the end of the bag.
