Re: [haflingerfriends] Re: The best feeling

I think the main trick with that sort of hackamore (or really any other) is to make sure the nose piece is sitting up on the bone rather than the cartilage. I don't know how useful they are if the horse doesn't neck rein though (I'm thinking a "plow" rein might dig the top part of the "T" into the side of a horse's face)

I remember this type of hackamore back in the day as well, looked a little less scary than the 7 or 8" shanks on the western ones. I'm not sure how humane they are, I think that there is a lot of potential to hurt a horse if you don't have them set up properly, or if you are rough with them, but that is the same with everything!
