Our next show is Badminton Horse Trials - 5th - 11th May 2025.
This elegant Mexican grackle bridle is carefully crafted from the finest English Sedgwick leather and features an anatomic headpiece to offer maximum pressure relief thanks to its cut back anatomical design in conjunction with generous lightweight padding. (Pony is exclusively available on the Arc Classic Headpiece)
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 and features a double buckle chin strap to achieve an optimal and symmetrical fit.
The throat lash strap has been strategically integrated into the headpiece to reduce the bulk in the sensitive TMJ area and allowing for the noseband and cheek piece buckles to lie flat against the horses skin.
Absolutely lovely soft leather, the comfort top fits very well, would definitely buy another bridle
Good quality leather bridle, well designed and fits well.
Supplied with bridle bag
Good information on website and responsive team to emails.
Brilliant quality, soft leather, perfectly fitting. Definitely recommend 👍
Such a beautiful bridle. Fits perfectly, soft leather and looks amazing. Will be buying another bridle soon!
I first bought this bridle 3 years ago to event my 16.1 mare. She always struggled with scoring low dressage marks and constantly scored mid thirty's. After swapping to the Henry James Bridle her dressage improved significantly scoring as low as 26.0 in BE100, as I believe other bridles don't apply the pressure in the same correct spots. In other bridles and cavessons she was much heavier in my hand. I have been riding in the Mexican grackle ever since and also used it for my 4yo mare, I have just re-bought the bridle in a bigger size as she is continually growing! I highly recommend this bridle!!

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
I absolutely love these reins, the feel they give me is amazing and I now actively use them over other reins. By far my favourite now!
Beautiful bridles , excellent quality, love the fact that you can buy all the parts separately to suit your horse. Highly recommend. Good customer service.
Lovely quality and excellent fit due to the extra adjustability. I have bought this noseband separately to fit to a Henry James Flash Bridle; I also have the complete Grackle bridle which is also really nice. I really do recommend that people go for Henry James as opposed to big equestrian brands selling foreign, poor quality leather products; for quality and safety, Henry James are an excellent choice.
These are the best reins l have ever used and well worth every penny. After three years of constant use my previous set still looked like new and only had to be replaced because my horse had "a moment" and snapped them. I used another set whilst waiting for the new ones to arrive and it was the longest four days of my life. I'm never going back!
