The Fairfax Snaffle Bridle With Grackle Noseband is the first bridle to be based on scientific research and proven to:Reduce pressure by up to 84% at the six key pressure zones around the head. Reduce force by up to 77%. Allows greater forelimb extension. Increase knee & hock flexion. This Mexican grackle design sits higher on the face than an English grackle and benefits from articulation rings each side which help it articulate and move in harmony with the motion of the horse’s head. In scientific trials, the grackle noseband was a top performer when it came to pressure reduction on the horse’s face making it a great starting point for youngsters. Benefits & features:
Articulation rings on the noseband improve stability on the horse’s head, allowing it to move with the horse, without causing restriction.
Improved bridle stability enhances the horse’s comfort
Symmetrical design with buckles both sides
Browband and noseband are interchangeable with others from the Fairfax range

Regular use has a cumulative benefit, so to get the maximum benefits from your bridle use it continuously (ie not just for competition) Immediately after use wipe all traces of sweat off the leather using warm water. If the leather has become wet, dry thoroughly. Apply leather feed to both the under and upper surfaces using a clean, soft cloth. Fairfax recommends Rapide Leathergel(supplied with the bridle) for regular cleaning and feeding of the Performance Bridle Important Do NOT use any glycerine-based products (such as saddle soap) or oil-based treatments (such as neatsfoot oil). These will adversely affect the finish of the leather. Never use wet tack
