OK but you forgot the fiador. Most people nowdays do but it is an integral part of the hackamore set.

What about horses ridden western and neck reined? I use a hackamore with my horse and neckrein. You cannot avoid putting equal pressure on the nose. He responds just fine. Others do the same thing in our barnn

Good article on using a hackamore with a bosal. It reminds me of the books that were written by the late Ed Connell regarding hackamore training. He learned from the old Spanish cowboys in the central valley area of California. Using a hackamore teaches the rider to use gentle hands with the horse. And in return you get a very responsive horse using a gentle touch of the reins.

Good article. I ride in a bitless bridle and I know using that I can ride my horse in a Basel. In my mind they are a very usefull tool for teaching. If I didnt have my bridle I would buy one of these.
