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 horses 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 needsWARRANTY : 30 DAY/LIFETIME"This is my favorite bit in my collection.
