Our next show is Badminton Horse Trials - 5th - 11th May 2025.
The grackle noseband has been designed to help prevent the horse from crossing their jaw and opening their mouth and features soft padding for maximum comfort.
(Nosebands are only compatible with headpieces that buckle either side)
Bought this noseband to fit to a HJ bridle we already own. It is great to be able to interchange them and we look forward to the showing nosebands etc coming out!
I have really struggled to find a grackle that fits my TB without causing unnecessary pressure until I tried the Henry James grackle. The leather is lovely and supple and the added buckles allow the flash to be adjusted perfectly. My boy has never seemed happier!
Really nice leather work soft and supple and super smart
Very pleased with our new bridle from Henry James. Product advice and quality was very good and speedy delivery much appreciated. Dan and the HJ team provided impressive personal customer service. A smart new look for Adeline, our 5yo BYEH at Badminton this year.
I took a risk and bought my pony a few new bridle parts after her 20 year old Mexican noseband started fraying (new stitching required). This lead me on a hunt to find some new leatherwork of excellent quality. Did the Henry James leather meet my expectations? Absolutely. Not only is the fit perfect for my oddly shaped Connemara x WB mare, it also looks to fit better than her old one too. It’s definitely stopped her incessant itching after riding. Did I mention that you can instantly tell it’s high quality leather the moment you unwrap it? The smell takes me back to my youth when you walked into an old fashioned tack shop with plenty of good quality English leather/ tack and non of the low quality “moderately priced” (yes it isn’t even cheap anymore!) tat that we used to grown upon. It’s become so much easier to find the cheap tat at a moderately priced range all designed for fashion, and rare to find the quality English leather. I honestly couldn’t recommend this enough, the whole noseband is soft and supple, it instantly feels amazing to handle. Pony likes it and it looks to fit her perfectly around her nose too. The crossover leather pad is a little more stiff than I’d have liked but I love the option to switch between sheepskin or leather. I may try the sheepskin on her. Obviously I also needed cheek pieces (to go with the new bridlework) and headpiece too - my old bridle used the old style nosebands which sat independently. The only thing I didn’t add from Henry James was a browband, as I’ve loads of sparkly ones that I love.
Thanks so much! I love my new noseband and the flexibility of it.

I had bought previously from HJ and loved the quality of the leather. I treated myself to a new bridle because i loved them so much, a month later our tackroom was broken into and cleaned out. The team (Dan) went above and beyond to help me replace my stolen bridles, I can't thank him and the enough. The bridle arrived beautifully packaged alongside the stirrup leathers . I will be buying again once insurance is sorted and replacement saddles have arrived. I'm eyeing up the T bar dressage leathers
It's a 10 star review from me. Highly recommended the quality, service and sensible price tags.
Thank you HJ
Love these reins. So soft and flexible and super grippy
Am very happy with my Reins excellent quality, I was recommended by my Instructor to purchase these reins as I struggle to grip with a weak wrist and these definitely work brilliantly for me especially with the leather hand stoppers, they have truly made a big difference to my riding! Very pleased with my purchase.
Excellent customer service from Henry James. I originally purchased an XL size for my horse but it was too big and as it was a custom order I thought it would be a problem changing it. However, there was no problem at all, it was exchanged with no issues.
Excellent products! Leave tack clean and smells amazing 🫶🏼
