hackamore

Noseband horse control

A hackamore is a type of bridle that controls a horse without a bit in its mouth, using pressure on the nose and chin instead.

It relies on a noseband and headstall rather than metal in the horse's mouth: She trained the young horse with a hackamore before introducing a bit.

Hackamores are favored for horses with sensitive mouths or during early training.
