The Schockemöhle Rio Select Grackle Noseband in Black is part of the premium “Anatomic Line – Select & Mix” collection, designed to provide anatomical comfort, secure fit, and refined appearance. This figure-8 style noseband is ideal for horses that need a bit more stability while maintaining freedom of movement and unrestricted breathing.
Anatomically shaped and thoughtfully constructed, the Rio Select features a softly padded center disk that sits comfortably on the bridge of the nose. Unlike traditional sheepskin grackles, the smooth leather center delivers a close, non-bulky fit. The side straps are gently lined to prevent rubbing and allow even pressure distribution across the horse’s face.
Key Features:
-
Anatomical figure-8 (Mexican) design for secure, pressure-balanced fit
-
Soft padded center disc to reduce pressure on the nasal bone
-
Lined side straps for improved comfort and reduced friction
-
Narrow, padded buckle guard for a clean finish and added comfort
-
Premium black leather with high-quality metal fittings
This style of noseband is particularly well-suited for horses that tend to cross their jaws or open their mouths, helping to encourage more consistent contact without restricting natural movement. Its design also allows for better airflow through the nostrils, making it a popular choice for jumping, eventing, or fast-paced flatwork.
