G2864 Pre-Bit Hackamore Training, MU Extension Use of a hackamore is based on the simple principle that the horse learns to respond to pressures on its nose and under its chin. Hackamores came from Spanish culture, and the name probably was derived from the Spanish word jaquima (hak-kee-mah). A hackamore must be properly adjusted to achieve satisfactory results — placed low on the nose, near the soft cartilage. muextension.missouri.edu /explore/agguides/ansci/g02864.htm   (3485 words)

Hackamore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The hackamore was developed for humanitarian reasons, as it fits over the horse's nose, as opposed to a bit, which rests inside the mouth. The hackamore gently guides the horse by exerting pressure under the chin. It was widely used by the Native American, and could be very decorative, with reins woven out of various colors of horsehair. www.scc.rutgers.edu /however/print_archive/jqhackamore.html   (76 words)

A Moorish Device Along the way, the hackamore developed into the jaquima, bosal, and bosalito, the bits grew more refined and varied, and the spectacular feats of horsemanship that grew out of wartime needs were transferred to grizzly roping and brushpopping. When the rider's seat moves back into normal position, his body moves to the normal centered, upright position, the reins are slacked, and the hackamore cheekpieces and noseband return to their at-rest position. The hackamore is a training device, so horses should be expected to move in a longer, looser frame than they will when finished in the bridle. home.earthlink.net /~phetsy/bosal.html   (1372 words)

Cypress Lodge :: Promoting Humane Training and Treatment of Horses The obvious disadvantage of this design is that it cannot be used as a normal halter due to the nose opening being oversized without the mecate attached. The hackamore is a riding tradition, the word itself is an anglicized version of the Spanish ‘jaquima’, meaning tied halter. A Hackamore consists of a ‘mecate’ rein that is connected to a halter (or bosal) to provide a set of reins and a lead rope. www.freewebs.com /lodgeropes/bitlessriding.htm   (2049 words)

Tom Thumb Bit vs. Mild Hackamore As for hackamore fit it depends a little on what kind of hackamore you are thinking about. This because the reins are attached on the sides, and not both underneath the horses jaw, so the effect on the reins are more similar to riding with a bit when you use a sidepull then when you are riding with a bosal. The advantage of the side pull over the hackamore with a bosal is that it doesn't shift when you put pressure on the horses nose. ellenofstad.com /articles/tom_thomb_vs_hackamore.html   (764 words)

Moving to the Hackamore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) And don't confuse a hackamore that has a rawhide core with one that has a cable or steel core. Here's the reason: Because of the way the hackamore operates, it's easy for the horse to confuse lateral flexion (left and right, from nose to tail) and longitudinal flexion (up, over the horse's top line, from nose to tail). Depending on the timing and feel of your release, or the firmness of your response, your horse will either 1) bend his neck just ahead of the withers and plunge his head right down to the ground or 2) over-arch in the mid-neck area with his chin pulled back (against his chest). www.lesliedesmond.com /articles/us/horse11-3.asp   (1737 words)

hackamore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) It did not take long to see that the training done in a hackamore was the foundation for teaching the horse to work on a slack rein. The good hackamore horses never worked on a steady pull, but instead responded to a signal from a "pull and release" from one rein at a time. The reason for that is the hackamore is always used with the two hands a little higher than the rider using the snaffle bit. www.horsecity.com /NEWSDESK/REINING/hackamore.html   (563 words)
