Are Grackles and american cross nosebands the same??

[Dizzyblonde99]

Been out hunting today

Was adviced by several to try my pony in a Grackle noseband, so I tryed the local tackshops but they are out of stock. So I looked at derby house and there Grackle was considerbly more expensive than Robinsons American cross noseband.

So are they diffrence between the Grackle and the American Cross noseband?? Thank you very much xx

Yes. The grackle you post to is more severe than the "High ring" version, but the high ring versions are alot more popular and work very effectively

Personally, I much prefer the high ring version too

The derby house grackle.

Its a "traditional" type of grackle, and is stronger than the high ring versions.

Named after the hard pulling Grand National winner Grackle for which it was designed. The two noseband straps move through the pad at the front and through the loops in the sliphead so can be cranked very tightly.
