Hackamore Bridles
Are you looking for a Bitless bridle? Then you are at the right place. EVORIN offers all kinds of anatomical hackamore bridles.
The working of a hackamore
A hackamore works through gentle pressure on the horse’s nose, chin, and poll instead of the mouth. When the rider applies the reins, the shanks create leverage that distributes pressure evenly across these areas, encouraging the horse to yield and respond to light cues.

Is a hackamore bridle safe?
Bitless riding is actually considered to be safer and more controlled than riding with a bit. According to a study carried out by the Certified Horseman's Association, horses that had never been ridden bitless were calmer and performed better than those who had previously ridden with bitted bridles.

How to fit a hackamore bridle correctly
A hackamore should sit about two fingers below the cheekbone, clear of the soft nasal cartilage. The chin strap must be snug but not tight, allowing two fingers underneath. Shanks should hang parallel to the face when the reins are loose. A correct fit ensures clear communication and comfort without pressure or restriction.
