Do hackamore bits hurt horses?

Although many tack catalogs list Hackamores with the bits they are actually nosebands. The hackamore noseband can be made of several different things and that will affect their severity. A bicycle chain hackamore shouldn't be used by anyone. So long as the Hackamore is adjusted properly and used correctly then it's not going to be sever, but used in the wrong way and it can break a horses nasal bones.

What does a hackamore do for a horse?

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.
