English Hackamore – Bitless bridle

English hackamore

•Often the solution to horses that cannot be bitted for any reason

•Shorter shanks give good pressure but not excessive amounts

•Strength: moderate

English hackamores are one of two popular types of bitless bridles.

Hackamores are useful for horses with mouth problems, or those that just dislike any type of bit.

The English version of the hackamore has a fairly short shank, with faux fur padded leather nose and either a leather strap with chain behind in brown, or all leather strap;

One pair of reins are used on the bottom of the shank, which gives nose pressure.

It is very important to fit hackamores in the correct position to avoid nerve damage or restriction to the horses breathing.

The hackamore replaces the noseband and is fitted slightly lower than a cavesson, but making sure the noseband is sitting on a solid part of the horses nose, not onto the soft cartilage below.
