The hackamore is made of European cowhide and produced in the Marjoman factory in Spain. The cowhide leather is supple and requires little maintenance. The bridle fits well with the horse's head from the start due to the supple leather quality. The chin strap is softly padded and widely adjustable on both sides with buckle closure. The noseband and browband are softly padded and provided with beautiful decoration in the middle. Rings are attached to the noseband as a cavemore effect, which can be easily removed. The shanks can be removed or replaced at the noseband and cheekpieces using Chicago screws. The headpiece is straight and softly padded. The bridle can be adjusted on both sides using the cheekpieces. The jaw strap can be adjusted with a buckle and is glued to the cheek pieces to prevent shifting.

How 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 shank length and the action of the rider's hand.
