Fairfax Performance Bridle-Snaffle Grackle

The Fairfax Performance Bridle - Snaffle Grackle version - is available as part of the range of Fairfax bridle systems.  

  • Available with plain or Swarovski browband
  • Carefully thought-out features reduce pressure in six key zones
  • The Grackle tested best in our research for reduced noseband pressure
  • Improved bridle stability enhances the horse’s comfort
  • Symmetrical design with buckles both sides
  • Browband and noseband are interchangeable with others from the Fairfax range
  • FEI approved for use in all three eventing phases  

Developed, designed and handmade in the UK

The first bridle to be based on scientific research and proven to:

  • Reduce pressure by up to 84%
  • Reduce force by up to 77%
  • Allows greater forelimb extension
  • Increases knee & hock flexion

The Fairfax Performance Grackle Bridle is the only bridle to have been designed and developed using pressure mapping (by Pliance) and gait analysis (by Centuar Biomechanics).

"Our testing and research into different bridle designs identified six key areas of peak pressure, common to most bridles. Further scientific study proves that the reduction in bridle pressure afforded by the Fairfax Performance Bridle significantly improves range of movement, extension and flexion in competition horses."

In addition to reducing pressure, the Fairfax Performance Bridle enhances the horse’s comfort by improving stability.
