If the horse was going the same way in a bitless bridle that does not work on the poll, then you would have a true connection. These hackamores work similarly to a pelham, with added pressure on the nose. They tend to create a false frame.<br /><br />I bet the new teeth will really help once the bit is back in his mouth!Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-35831388703442634572014-04-11T09:49:21.389-04:002014-04-11T09:49:21.389-04:00Sometime I would like to experiment with a hackamo...Sometime I would like to experiment with a hackamore with Loki and see what he thinks.

They make peices of leather to go under the through lower than a throat latch (attached to the cheeks) that can fix that issue though.

Riding in a hackamore shows that point. I used one on Barry because he had Melanomas in the corners of his mouth. But he would find a connection even if I used a halter and lead lines. Very cool you saw a difference though.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675631291488697042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-61026410487639194492014-04-10T12:11:19.896-04:002014-04-10T12:11:19.896-04:00Me too, and we're doing XC schooling for it to...Me too, and we're doing XC schooling for it too.

Especially to the left I tend to over-use the inside rein, and she wants me to prove that he will still carry himself even with less inside rein, so she has me give forward and pet like the middle of his neck every so often.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-62894984512030220702014-04-10T12:05:35.369-04:002014-04-10T12:05:35.369-04:00I love the 'pet his neck' idea.
