Bridle Biothane Grackle Nicholson Noseband + Reins Solo

NICHOLSON BRIDLE BIOTHANE

Popular race bridle

This features genuine Biothane straps. Includes the bit. Sold without reins.

The Grackle (often called a figure-8 ) noseband offers the following features

1. The upper loop of the 8, closest to the ears, prevents the horse from opening his mouth and crossing his jaws.

2. The lower loop of the 8, closest to the bit, loops down from the nose and is stitched on to the bit with elastic. This holds the bit up against the roof of the horse’s mouth. Comfortably prevents the horse from running away and throwing his head. It also comfortably helps prevent him putting his tongue over the bit, which inhibits breathing.
