Bombers English Hackamore Leather

Bombers English Hackamore Leather.

English hackamores are useful for horses with mouth problems or just dislike any type of bit. The English hackamore has a fairly short shank, with a padded leather nose strap and a leather back strap. One pair of reins is used on the bottom of the shank, which applies nose and poll pressure.

It is very important to fit hackamores correctly, making sure the noseband is sitting on a solid part of the horse’s nose and not onto the soft cartilage below.

HACKAMORES VS BITS
If all bits have failed or the horse has a problem with the conformation of the mouth a hackamore would be recommended for intermediate riders and above. Correct fitting of all hackamores is crucial to avoid damage to the delicate nasal bones or blocking of the nasal passages. The Hackamore is best suited to more experienced riders as the feel is very different from a bit. Always bear in mind our philosophy that more pressure can result in more resistance.
