  • Picking a bitless bridle.
    picking between 2 hackamores
    Now if a horse is not responding well to a bit and you really have to pull, they might have nerve damage and a lot of times that can happen with an older horse especially one that has been ridden in a Tom thumb bit. so consequently if a horse has no mouth, they still should have a nose.
    the point of this being that a bitless bridle is a good alternative.
    this is going to be comparing two different types of hackamore. now hackamore is different from a side pool in that it actually utilizes pressure. and a shanked hackamore adds 5 lb of pressure per inch of shank.
    in this video I will go over trying to find the best fit in the bridal as well as the best action based on the hackamore nose piece itself. we will also go over different exercises you can use to see how well a horse will respond to different types of bridles

    This is a very informative video on these 2 types of hackamores. I have an older horse who has a lot of trouble with bits due to past traumas stemming from his taking off with an amateur rider/owner. He does not neck rein at this time so a shanked hackamore may not be the answer to steering, but will stop him if needed. I have the circle type that also has add rings for more leverage. Not sure how effective it will be for stopping him if he take off. my goal is to direct rein him using a bitless bridle. Would love to see you do a video covering this. Thank you.

      Thank you for your comment.
      The biggest step is to train in a flex down to stop, or a one rein stop. Sidepulls work well for direct rein exercises. ua-cam.com/video/o5hTWHxFVso/v-deo.htmlsi=xNuiY49f0fULJr0f
      This goes along with stopping and backing, Here's a playlist of exercises ua-cam.com/play/PL1JF_PZLhWBh5QNCHgx28G-IDfUS7eslx.html&si=FtH_SN9sPAXu5ony
      You have to repeat the exercises every time you work with them till it's automatic.
      Here's a playlist of training for respect and control that can help with the bolting and taking advantage of beginners.

    Thank you, I found your information very helpful. I've been using a three-piece snaffle bit, both for direct reining and neck reining. Would the wheel snaffle be ok for both reining styles? Again, great info🙂

      Thank you for your comment.
      The wheel has the least amount of leverage.
      Shanked hacks are designed for indirect rein. Here's an example

      Neck Reining is all about Indirect pressure, and can be done using most hack designs
      Here's exercises to work on to make that transition.
