Hackamore

While this little bit might not look like there’s much to it, it works wonders on a horse that has natural rate and prefers going bitless. How can it be so effective? Known as a Stage B bit, it’s ideal when you transition to neck reining, ride an older horse that neck reins well with light signals, or if you’re a heavy-handed rider. It’s a snap to add to your favorite headstall and adjust the included curb chain to your level of responsiveness. Each cheek is shaped by hand and closely inspected for uniformity to ensure your signals are easily felt and understood. While this bit will last so you can pass it to future generations, we recommend you start today and ride this bit through endless seasons of heat, snow, and muddy arenas. IDEAL FOR • When you want a good deal of lift and lots of flex• You don’t need a lot of whoa• A horse that fidgets with the bit mouthpiece or doesn’t accept a mouthpiece• Average size horse with 6” cheeks and 10” nose

"This is my favorite bit in my collection. I have ridden two different horses to world titles using this hackamore. The hackamore is great for a horse that just needs some guiding around the turn or one that does not like a bit in its mouth. The side pull action on the shank makes it easy for your horse to work without getting in its way and gives you a small amount of lift. The rubber covered metal nose piece gives it great balance on the horse’s nose and more control for those long runs to the barrel. Now with the different shank options you too can perfectly fit what your horse needs"  - Brittany Pozzi

The JC Hackamore provides ample amount of collection and framing without much emphasis on lateral movement. The flat metal nose band, which is covered by leather for less aggression, distributes the pressure across the horse’s nose more evenly than a bicycle chain or rope nose.

The Goosetree Hackamore is an extremely versatile piece of equipment. It is designed with a chain nosepiece covered in a super-soft polyurethane coating, making it very flexible. Because it is so flexible, riders don't hit that dead spot commonly felt in other hackamores. It offers plenty of whoa when needed and can be placed higher on a horses nose or lower, depending on the horses level of sensitivity.
