I use a hackamore when my horse gets a sore in her mouth of if my bridle breaks lol. It puts pressure on their nose and none in their mouth which seems a bit more pleasing to me, but on the other hand, you dont have as much control of your horse, but i jump my thouroughbred in it and she's quite a spazz but with the hackamore she's better than she is with a snaffle so i like it.

∙ 15y agoA hackamore is basicly a bitless bridle. There are several different types of hackamores, but most control the horse by making use of pressure points on the nose. Hackamores can be useful for horses with damaged mouths, horses who havent been "bit broken," or simply as a time saver.

Which type of bridle does not have a bit?
The bridle that does not have a bit in it is called the hackamore. It looks just like a normal bridle, except there is nothing that goes into the horse's mouth. It is used to have a quicker responce from your horse (make them stop faster), because it cuts off the air supply in their nose when you pull on it. If you ride a horse in the hackamore, try to ride softly, and don't yank on the reins as much as you might if you were in a normal bit.
