Van Jans Fancy-Stitched Figure-8 Bridle and Reins

€117,00 €180,00

The Van Jans Fancy-Stitched Figure-8 Bridle and Reins is the go-to choice for jumping riders who want both technical function and competition-ring style. The figure-8 noseband configuration keeps the mouth closed while leaving the nostrils completely unobstructed — critical for maximum oxygen intake during fast, demanding work.

Key Features

  • Figure-8 Noseband — The cross-over design exerts pressure above and below the bit simultaneously, preventing the horse from crossing the jaw without restricting the airway
  • Fancy Stitching Detail — Fine diagonal stitching along the browband and noseband gives a polished, competition-quality appearance
  • Gold Hardware — Warm brass-finish buckles and rings that complement both black and brown leather beautifully
  • Matching Leather Reins Included — Flat leather reins complete the set for a cohesive, ring-ready presentation
  • Secure Buckle Adjustments — All straps are independently adjustable for a precise, balanced fit on any head shape

Ideal For

Show jumping, cross-country, eventing, and any discipline where a secure mouth closure with unrestricted breathing is essential.

Care & Conditioning

Clean leather with a soft damp cloth after use. Apply a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks, or more frequently in wet or cold conditions. Do not use household soaps, detergents, or oil-based products. Store away from direct heat and sunlight. A well-maintained Van Jans bridle will last many years of regular use.
