Neck reining is encouraged because all pressure is applied on the same side of the horse. As the neck rein pressure is applied, the aluminum plate twists and applies pressure to the side of the jaw. Horses move away from pressure.
Easy back up and collection is encouraged because when you gently pull back on the reins, the noseband tightens over the bridge of the nose. The nose band is lower on the horses head than where the aluminum plate contacts the underside of the jaw. This hackamore action encourages the horse to break at the pole and round up the shoulders. This discourages hollowing out of the horses back. Softness and relaxation is encouraged because of the hackamore’s light weight and because of the instant complete release the horse feels when you release pressure from the reins. Head tossing is discouraged because when properly adjusted, it feels like a halter to the horse when no rein pressure is applied. Excessive pulling is discouraged because of the sensitive pressure points that are used by the Gentle Control Hackamore. This Gentle Control Hackamore will nullify all the negative effects of a bit. This is primarily a one-handed or neck reining hackamore. We emphasize the use of soft hands. Most horses pick up neck reining during the first ride, usually in a matter of minutes. “I purchased a Gentle Control Hackamore last year at the Kalispell Horse Fair. I was pretty skeptical but after using it on my Morgan for 15 minutes I went back and purchased 3 more. I do endurance & competition trail riding and also a lot of pleasure riding. It’s very pleasurable for both horse and rider. I’ve used it on many different age horses, young & old, and they all love it! It only takes a few minutes for all horses to understand how it works and presto no more head throwing or fighting the bit. No more grabbing the side of the hackamore or shaking or rearing just down to business and down the trail. A lot of my friends are now using the hackamore. One friend purchased 6 so all of his horses could have their own. Try it you’ll love it!” ~Linda Secrest, Black Hat Morgan’s |
