A Mexican bridle is also sometimes called the 'figure eight' or 'crossover' noseband. It is designed for the rider to have better control over the horse and is often used for strong-willed (read stubborn) horses.
The Mexican noseband consists of two diagonally crossing narrow straps with their crossover point on a small circular pad of felt on the front of the hobby horse's nose. If a horse wearing a bridle with a grackle noseband tries to open his mouth to evade the bit he will feel pressure on the bridge of the nose and his chin groove.

These bridles are made from sustainable leather. How can we say that the leather is sustainably made? We have good reasons for that.
- The leather used for the bridles comes from wild moose from Scandinavia
- The leather is bark tanned in a local tannery in Finnish Ostrobothnia
- The bridles are made according to the principles of circular economy
- If the leather is cared for in the right way, in other words treated with leather grease at regular intervals, it will last for decades.
- The bridles are made by craftsmen in Finland
Therefore, we dare to say that more sustainably made bridles are hard to find. By taking care of the bridle you can also be part of the circular economy. If you take good care of the bridle you will be able sell it on or give it to the next generation of hobby horse fans when the time has come. This is not possible if you use artificial leather that has a significantly shorter lifespan.
