Improve control, comfort, and performance with our range of grackle nosebands, also known as figure 8 nosebands, designed for horses that need extra stability in the contact. The crossed strap design helps prevent the horse from opening the mouth or crossing the jaw, encouraging a more consistent and effective connection.

Grackle nosebands are particularly popular in show jumping, eventing, and fast work, where greater control is needed without restricting airflow. Unlike traditional nosebands, the figure 8 design sits higher on the face, allowing more freedom for the nostrils, making it a suitable option for horses working at higher intensity.

Crafted from quality leather with soft padding, many designs feature sheepskin or padded pressure points at the crossover to maximise comfort and reduce rubbing. Adjustable straps ensure a secure, tailored fit while maintaining even pressure distribution.

Ideal for horses that can become strong, resist the bit, or evade contact, grackle nosebands offer a practical solution to improve communication while maintaining comfort. Whether for competition or everyday riding, they provide a reliable balance of control, fit, and performance.
