The Van-Jan Premium Fancy-Stitched Figure-8 Noseband offers the classic jumping noseband profile with an elevated finish. The signature cross-over leather configuration prevents the horse from evading the bit by crossing the jaw, while the generously padded sheepskin centre disc softens the pressure point at the nose bridge.
Key Features
- Figure-8 Cross-Over Design — Upper and lower straps cross over the nose, applying gentle pressure both above and below the bit without restricting the nostrils or airway
- Sheepskin Centre Pad — Soft natural sheepskin disc cushions the crossing point at the nose bridge, preventing rubs during jumping work
- Fancy Stitching — Precision decorative stitching along the upper band and browband attachment adds a competition-level finish
- Adjustable Lower Loop — The lower jaw strap buckles independently for a precise, secure fit on heads of all shapes
- Quality Leather Straps — Smooth, consistently finished leather that flexes comfortably and cleans easily after schooling
Ideal For
Show jumping, cross-country, eventing, and horses that tend to cross the jaw or evade the bit. A staple noseband in the jumping rider's equipment collection.
Available in Black and Brown · Full, Cob, and Pony sizes

Care & Conditioning
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.
