Tricky Vernacular?

Mexican Noseband / Grackle Noseband / Figure 8 Noseband / Crossed Bridle

This noseband has many names. Where you come from determines what you call it.  All four names are describing the same thing: a noseband whose straps fasten with a buckle behind the upper jaw of the horse, above the cheekbone. Therefore, the straps then cross the nose on a diagonal. The straps extend down under the bit and fasten with a second buckle at the chin groove.

Why Use A Figure 8 Noseband?

The design of a figure 8 noseband keeps your horse’s mouth closed and prevents jaw crossing – both evasion of the bit that compromises the control you have over the horse. The relatively high positioning on the horse’s nostril demonstrates the figure 8 noseband purpose. It does not pull the horse’s cheeks into its teeth it and allows open nostrils for maximum air intake. The Grackle noseband / figure 8 noseband is very popular in the show jumping world and in cross country due to the performance-enhancing design makes.
