The 8-1/2 Inch Hilason SS Horse Hackamore Bit with Curb Chain and Rubber Nose Cheek is a mechanical hackamore designed to offer strong control without using a bit. Instead of applying pressure to the horse's mouth, it works on the nose, chin, and poll, providing an effective alternative for horses that are sensitive to bits. The nosepiece is covered with rubber, ensuring comfort by reducing friction and pressure points, while the stainless steel (SS) shanks measure 8-1/2 inches in length, giving the rider significant leverage.

A curb chain under the chin tightens as the reins are pulled, adding pressure to the jaw for better stopping power and sharper turns. This design is ideal for experienced riders who need precise control in high-performance situations such as barrel racing, roping, or trail riding. The bitless design makes it perfect for horses that are sensitive to bits or have mouth issues, allowing them to perform while minimizing discomfort.
