Where do you put a hackamore?

A hackamore is a bitless bridle that is good for young horses or horses with sensitive mouths. Rather than a bit, it loops around the muzzle and act with pressure on the poll and the face, rather than the usually magnified pressure of a bit. A hackmore goes on a horse the same as a bridle.


My 5 year old horse is very much the alpha horse but he just pulls and puts his head down and runs faster and rushes his trots and canters how do I slow him down and control him?

1.) Search for the: "Join up method" And show your dominance 2.) Use a hackmore 3.) USe a bit which he cant grap with his teeth 4.) Dont just pull pull and pull BUT Pull and release pressure and do that serveral times


What bit would be good for a horse who is strong on hacks?

Answer on stronger bits for hackingStraining a horse up in a strong bit is not the first thing you do when you find that he is too strong for you - powerful bits force the horse to submit rather than asking him to. It really depends on what he's doing wrong. If he tosses his head up and down to evade the bit, using a stronger bit may not help because he has learned positions in which he can barely feel it. Using a strong bit will require him to exaggerate them more and worsen the habit. Using a martingale sometimes means that you can stay in the snaffle - I knew a horse that tossed his head and held behind the bit who was basically cured with a drop noseband and a martingale.If he's bolting for a reason, maybe he just needs to be calmed down a bit more instead of using a very firm bit. A powerful bit like a ported curb or a spade can seriously damage a horse's mouth (not to mention making him very miserable) in inexperienced or careless hands.Using a very strong bit like a gag on a high-strung horse can sometimes send them over the edge also, or serve to make them either mean or broken-hearted.If you do find you need a stronger bit - well, this is a question for trial and error! Depending on how your horse gets strong (whether he goes behind the bit and bolts off, or just starts leaning on it) you will need different bits. If he is quite strong in the neck and tend to hold his head up high, a curb chain helps - a pelham or kimblewick. I work best with pelhams as you can put 2 reins and really use the curb when you need it rather than at all times! The curb helps to horse to soften and give a great brake! Be careful not to hang on to a curb though as horses can quickly learn to lean on them too! (so basically - half halt work well with curbs) For a horse that drops and goes behind the bit, a dutch gag or simple gag is most useful. These help keep the head at an even level. Some horses go great with a baucher, but make sure you NEVER put a strong horse who leans on the bit in a french link . Horses have a very strong tendency to lean on these!(sorry - never say never, but my personal experience is such!) so no french link gag or any such things! If the horse is very strong, then a double bridle is also a solution.Whatever the problem, remember that it's not the strenght of the bit that will mess your hrose's mouth up, but the hands that use this, so carefull with these, and think half halts when you use a strong bit, not yaaaaank!hope this helps!I have always found that a jointed pelham rather than a fixed one works well on horses that are used to a snaffle because it offers them the familiar feeling of a snaffle, with the extra control of the curb chain and the poll pressure. It is also not as strong as a fixed pelham. Sometimes, going from a light bit to a very strong one can cause more problems than you had to begin with. For an excellent point of reference, see a book by Tom Roberts called Horse Control And The Bit.I used a 3 ring gag on my old pony on the second ring, who had worn a snaffle before. It really depends how your pony goes, ask someone experienced (like an instructor) who has seen your horse's way of going what they think. If you use a curb chain, they only need to be quite loose to work. I know how you feel, generally if you relax and drop your contact a little your pony will relax a bit too. Being tense will make him worse and if you hang off his mouth he will just lean back and ignore you. Talking to him sometimes helps. Happy hacking, hope it goes well.I wouldn't go up. Indeed, i'd go down, to a bitless bridle. Bits cause pain, which cause lots of problems. Indeed, over a hundred as counted by Dr. Robert Cook
