>HEADPIECE
Featuring the default crownpiece for our jumping bridles, the Exion 'Triple Strap' Anti-Pressure Crownpiece, relieves pressure from the horse’s poll. The anatomical ear cut-outs and a central pressure-relief gap provide generous clearance, while ample padding provides cushioning without restricting movement, supporting clearer rein communication and a calmer, more relaxed way of going.Â
>BROWBAND
The straight padded browband features raised contrast fancy stitching that mirrors the stitching on the noseband, creating a cohesive and classic jumping bridle look, ideal for modern jumping tack.
>NOSEBAND
The 'Vela' Figure 8 Noseband for horses features a ring-based configuration that allows 360-degree adjustment, offering greater flexibility in figure 8 noseband fitting compared to anatomical leather-based grackle nosebands. This allows the noseband to sit more naturally and evenly across different head shapes, improving overall grackle bridle fit and stability. A soft sheepskin-padded circular centrepiece cushions the area under the most tension, helping reduce friction and pressure while maintaining the refined appearance expected from premium jumping and eventing tack.
>REINS
Crafted from high-quality rubber, these reins provide a secure, refined grip for confident riding. Equipped with martingale stoppers and a reliable hook fastening, they offer both functionality and a clean, professional finish.
>HARDWARE
Both the reins and cheekpieces use hook stud fastenings, offering a neat, seamless look. Like all Exion bridles, the hunting bridle is finished with premium stainless steel hardware for long-lasting durability and a polished shine.Â
Widely used in show jumping and eventing, the Exion 'Vela' Figure 8 Bridle provides the key grackle bridle benefits riders look for. Commonly referred to as a Mexican bridle or grackle bridle for horses, this noseband helps stabilise the bridle and keep the horse’s mouth comfortably closed without interfering with breathing. making it especially suitable for strong horses and fast-paced disciplines where stability, airflow, and refined communication are essential.Â

This Figure 8 jumping bridle receives high praise for its exceptional quality and value. Customers said the "butter soft leather" is superior to more expensive options, with comfortable padding on the crown and noseband. The wide poll area suits sensitive horses well. Some noted sizing runs slightly large, and one customer experienced a noseband tear after first use, though customer service provided a replacement.
Absolutely love this bridles and so does my horse!! Got such lovely leather and beautiful quality
Looks amazing and fits well! All the tack is nice quality and holds up well.
Love this breastplate. Should have gotten a horse sized one for my dude but it still fits just fine. Super stylish, super great quality and very attractive.
I LOVE my figure 8 bridle. The butter soft leather conformed to my pony’s face in days leaving me with a perfectly fitting bridle, and one happy pony!
Good bridle
Great quality and durable . I am a repeat customer!
I've had it for about 3 months now and it's still in great shape. Super soft leather and the poll area is nice and wide which my OTTB needs. The price is affordable and you get more than what you pay for!
I loved this bridle my only thing was how big the nose band really is in the large size.
This bridle looks very nice on! After one use, the day after I received this in the mail, one of the holes on the nose band ripped in half. I have ordered from B&R before with no issues. I reached out and the customer service team is supposed to be sending a replacement noseband in the mail. It is very pretty on, but I would condition it before use.
Nice bridle.
Leather is much better than others at this price, and some more expensive bridles!
The bridle is lovely and fits well. A few of the keepers are too small and don't fit the straps through which is quite annoying. Otherwise would be 5 stars. I love the bridle
It is great quality and fit and our horse loves it!
Good quality!
Looks and feels like a bridle that should cost hundreds of $$$'s more than I'd ever pay for a bridle. The padding on the headstall and under the flash is squishy and soft. The leather seems like a very nice quality(I bought the VT leather version), the sheepskin pad on the noseband is not at all flaky or shedding, and the Horse/standard/full size works great for my average-headed 16hh Thoroughbred/paint cross. And it's soooo gorgeous, look how handsome he looks in his new bridle
Beautiful bridle, but I do feel like sizing is a little larger than usual. My 16.1 thoroughbred was on the highest holes.
Takes awhile to come but well worth it for the quality at the price with the discounts.
Love the stitching. Have had for over a year now and still like new. True to size. Love the thicker crown piece!
This bridle came really well packaged and the leather was high quality and soft!
Ordering was super easy, description was very accurate, fit super well and the padding is perfect and looks super comfortable.
Amazing craftsmanship - the quality of the leather is by far the best I have used in many years!
Very nice quality soft leather! Mexican bridles can be hard to adjust and fit properly but this one has enough options and the padding at the chin seems very comfortable for the horse. Would buy again.
could i have you switch the crownpiece to the Anti-Pressure crownpiece witht his bridle in my order for no addistional charge? what adjustments can i make to it in my order as well as can i ask you to switch the browband to be a sparkly one all for the regualr price of this bridle? can i also ask for a all leather nosepiece instead of sheepskin
Hi,
Yes, all of these customizations are easily possible. We too will be updating this bridle with the Anti-Pressure Crownpiece as soon as the current stock is sold out. If you’d like to preview the updated version, please email us at purchases@bridlesandreins.com.
Please note that opting for a crystal browband will incur an additional cost, as it is more expensive than a leather browband.
To proceed with ordering the customized bridle, we will need to send you an invoice, so it’s best to reach out to us via email and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you,
Bridles & Reins
how is this bridle different than the designer fancy stiched figure 8 bridle? Is the fluff on the noseband more full? It the disc bigger or smaller? It the brownpeice more padded? Is it more comfortable? tell me every single difference please
Hi,
It looks like you're referring to the two bridles linked below:
- Bridle #1089 – https://www.bridlesandreins.com/products/fancy-grackle-bridle-1089
- Bridle #1046 – https://www.bridlesandreins.com/products/fancy-figure-8-bridle-1046
Both the bridles are Figure 8 bridles with only minor differences, primarily in the crownpiece and fancy stitching. Other features, such as the disc size, fluff on the disc, and chin piece, are identical—though Bridle #1089 may appear larger, it has been adjusted to match Bridle #1046.
We’ll soon be updating the crownpieces for both models and will retain only the one with more reviews.
For any further inquiries, feel free to reach out at purchases@bridlesandreins.com.
Thank you,
Bridles & Reins
