The 'Vela' Figure 8 Noseband for horses is designed with a ring-based configuration that allows true 360-degree adjustment, offering significantly greater flexibility in the figure 8 noseband's fitting compared to an anatomical leather-based grackle noseband for horses.

While leather-based mexican nosebands may be designed anatomically, they do not offer the same level of independent adjustment and positioning that the ring setup allows. This design helps the noseband sit naturally and evenly across different head shapes, improving stability and comfort without restriction enhancing the overall grackle bridle's fit.

At the center of the noseband sits a soft sheepskin-padded circular centerpiece that cushions the area under the most tension when riding in a figure 8 noseband. The plush padding helps reduce friction and pressure while maintaining the refined appearance expected from premium jumping and eventing tack.

Widely used in show jumping and eventing, the purpose of a figure 8 noseband is to provide stability without interfering with breathing. Its higher crossing design helps keep the horse’s mouth comfortably closed while allowing greater airflow during intense work, making it especially suitable for strong horses in fast-paced disciplines.

Each stitch is precisely sewn and counts up to 10 to 12 stitches per inch with heavy-duty cotton threads that are trimmed to impart clean and finished looks in order to retain optimum durability and beauty. Smoothly finished and curved with special polish & lacquered on premium quality buckles for long-lasting results.
