# Crossover Noseband

Enhance your horses comfort and control with our **Crossover Noseband**, commonly known as a grackle. This innovative noseband design effectively prevents the horse from opening its mouth and crossing its jaw, promoting better communication between horse and rider while minimising the risk of discomfort or pressure on sensitive areas of the face.

**Key Features**

-   **Unique Design**: The cross-over style of the grackle distributes pressure evenly across the horse’s nose and jaw, allowing for better responsiveness without restricting your horses breathing.
-   **Durable Materials**: Crafted from superior full-grain leather and padded with sheepskin to reduce the chances of rubbing or irritation on the nose.  The sheepskin can be trimmed if desired.
-    **Comfortable Fit**: The noseband should be fitted snugly so that the top strap goes above the bit, resting below the facial bone. The lower strap fits below the bit, keeping the mouth closed and stable whilst still providing the best nasal cavity clearance of any drop noseband.
-   **Versatile Use**: Ideal for various disciplines, including jumping, cross country, polo and everyday riding.

Our Crossover Noseband (grackle) is a must have for riders looking to improve communication and control. Experience the difference a well-designed noseband can make in your riding.
