Hackamore Bit with Braided Leather Noseband, Chrome, 9" Cheeks

For a horse that fusses with a bit or has dental trouble, a hackamore can keep you riding without fighting his mouth. This mechanical hackamore puts control on the nose instead, with a braided leather noseband that works on the sensitive part of the nose and 9-inch cheeks for leverage when you need to stop.

Chrome plating gives the hardware a durable finish that stands up to regular use. If you are choosing your first hackamore or switching a horse over, run the fit past a trusted trainer before you put it to work.

Highlights

• Bitless control for horses with dental issues

Good to know

• Run the fit past a trusted trainer before the first ride, especially if you're switching a horse out of a bit.
• Keep the leather noseband clean and supple, and wipe the metal after dirty rides so the hardware stays smooth.
• Set the headstall so the hackamore hangs evenly on both sides; a crooked fit gives mixed signals.

Keep one in the tack room for the horse that rides better without a bit.
