Details about Full size Mexican Grackle Figure of 8
Brand new grackle with tags in (buffalo) leather. Never been used though has been sat in our tack room for ~2 years and so would benefit from an oil / treatment. There is slight wearing of the black colour in a couple of places which is purely cosmetic and would be easy enough to polish back as the leather itself is uncracked and in fine order. Figure-eight: Also called a crossed, Grackle or Mexican noseband, this noseband crosses from the top of the cheekbone on one side, over the nose to the chin groove on the other side, under the horse's chin, and back up to the opposite cheekbone. It is used to remind the horse to keep its mouth closed and prevents him from crossing his jaw, and its design provides more expansion of the nostrils, which is preferable for horses performing work involving galloping (eventing, polo, racing), and has always been popular in show jumping. Many people believe that this type of noseband is more comfortable than a flash.
