Flash and Figure-8 OptionsOur jumping bridles include both flash noseband designs for secure bit control and figure-8 (grackle) nosebands that allow greater jaw freedom while preventing mouth opening. Choose the style that best suits your horse's way of going.
Anatomical Poll ReliefMany of our jumping bridles feature anatomical headpieces that reduce pressure on the poll and major facial nerves. This is especially important for jumping horses, who need to be comfortable and relaxed to perform confidently over fences.

What type of noseband is best for jumping?
Flash nosebands are popular for jumping as they secure the bit and prevent the horse from opening its mouth over fences. Figure-8 (grackle) nosebands offer similar control while allowing more jaw freedom. The best choice depends on your horse — some prefer one style over the other.
Can I use a jumping bridle for dressage?
Figure-8 and grackle nosebands are not permitted in EA dressage competition. If you compete in both jumping and dressage, a snaffle bridle with a cavesson or flash noseband is more versatile. Check current EA rules for permitted noseband types at your level.
Do you stock anatomical jumping bridles?
Yes, we stock jumping bridles with anatomical features such as shaped, padded headpieces that avoid the poll and ear area, and comfort-padded nosebands. These designs help keep your jumping horse relaxed and comfortable, which is essential for confident performance.
What size jumping bridle do I need?
Most jumping bridles come in standard sizes — cob, full and warmblood. Measure your horse's head circumference, nose circumference and cheek length to determine the best fit. Our team can help you select the correct size based on your horse's measurements.
How do I maintain my jumping bridle's leather?
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and leather cleaner, then condition with a quality leather balm to maintain suppleness. Pay attention to areas that get sweaty, particularly the noseband and headpiece. Proper care extends the life and appearance of your bridle.
