Size measurement:
 | The size charter shows the sizes of this bridle. Measure the lengths to determine which size you need. For the hackamore, the following measurements need to be measured:

C: Headstall: from the noseband, behind the ears to the noseband In the blog, we explain how you can take measurements. |
Shank choice:
You can find more information about the shanks on this page Bitless Shanks. How a Hackamore Acts:
A hackamore works as follows; the shanks tilt backward and upwards through the pressure of the reins. This movement creates downward and backward pressure on the nose. The chin strap engages and then puts pressure on the chin. Via the cheekpieces, there is pressure behind the horse's ears. The amount of pressure depends on the length of the shanks and the action of the rider's hand.
