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.

A hackamore is a type of headgear used for horses that does not include a bit. It applies pressure to the horse's face, nose, and jaw, rather than the mouth, to control and direct the horse's movement. It is often used as a gentler alternative to a bit for sensitive-mouthed horses.

A bridle with no bit is called a what?

A bit is the part of the bridle that gets put in the horse's mouth. It is usually metal. It's used for control. The reigns are connected to it. A bridle without a bit is built differently to put pressure on different pars of the horse's head to give the rider control with the reigns. Though many riders use bitless bridles for many many reasons, I like them because when my horse and I go on trail rides, we can stop and take a break and I can let my horse eat grass without the hassle of changing from bridle to halter.
