2294 Hackamore

A Hackamore is a bitless bridle that exerts pressure on the horse’s nose and poll through lever action via the shanks. The noseband is softly padded and can be adjusted tighter or looser using the bridle hooks. The size of the Hackamore can also be adjusted via the chin strap.

Bitless and other bridles should always correspond to the training level of both horse and rider. We recommend bitless bridles only to riders who have mastered an independent seat, separate from the reins. Legally, bitless bridles carry a liability risk as the ability to influence the horse is less compared to a bridle with a bit.
