Nice hack, great price
Love this little hack for my speed mare. She has a smaller head, so it was difficult to find a hack that is narrow enough to keep the shanks from flipping out. This one fits perfectly and she is very responsive to it. The only negative is the cable shank hobble across the bottom wore through after about 1 1/2 years. I fixed with some cable and clamps from the hardware store, but it was cheap enough to buy another and keep the fixed one as backup.

AMAZING
Absolutely love this hackamore! I have a little QH mare that is hates bits and has a very light mouth... she works amazing with this hackamore she turns sharp and tight and just works beautifully! And she stops very nicely. Love this hackamore so much and highly recommend!
Great buy for the price
I have tried this on 2 of my horses and they both responded well. It is a little big for them, as they have small bridges, but still works well. I think as it is used it will shape to their faces better. The rope nose is softer than others I have used.
I adore this product but..
The noseband is HUGE. My little guy has a small head (even for an Arabian), but this noseband was even too big for my Paint, who's got a super heavy jawline, and thick nose.
Bought this for my mare that loves to run and is full of energy and she loves it!! Always drops her head for me to put it on! Good stop and great TURN! Def will be getting another one!
Love this hackamore!! Was scared to order it but considering the price I did!! My mare loves the hackamore and it has a good stop and turn!! Definitly will be order again!
A Horse Favorite
The horses seem to really enjoy working in this hackamore. From large heads to small dainty heads, it fits them all. Seems to give the horse just what they individually need, I've had it make really bendy ones a little stiffer, and really stiff ones more bendy. Use mainly for trail riding, but it works great on our barrel horses as well. Gives a nice light solid stop, and they turn well with it. Bought a second one because we did have a horse that had to have a hackamore due to an accident with a bit, and everyone was impressed with how well he responded to it.
Better than I thought
I pondered different types of hackamores and being skeptical I ordered this one, being $15 I thought it wasn't going to be all that great.. I was wrong!! Keep in mind this is not soft rope, it is more like lariat, it is stiff at fist but softens with time. I have been riding bitless most of my horsey career and I needed something with a little more woah for my silly boys on the trail. This has just enough brakes with built in power steering ;) However it was a little to big for my dainty OTTB's head, but fit my warmblood to a tee. I suggest either padding it up a little or buying an arab size if you have a small headed horse. I am pleased to say my search is over for the perfect hackamore. I would suggest this to anyone and everyone.
Great Hackamore! Priced well!
This hackamore is very cost effective and great for sensitive horses who do not like/need bits. It has a lot more flex and give than I thought and good whoa. My mustang dislikes bits so this is a great buy for someone with a sensitive horse that wants a light and effective hackamore!I only rode 3x in this however I am very impressed with the quality! If your on the fence about this one I say buy it!
Much better than I expected
For the price, I was surprised how nice it looked and how well it has held up. I wouldn't recommend for training because it is not built with heavy materials. I have been using it for western, english, jumping and trail riding on a mare who is more on the hot side. Because she is kind of hot, I make more contact than the average rider probably does throughout a ride (half-halts, circles and bending exercises). This hack has not let me down yet. Very easy to change out reins and adjust the chain. I thought I was going to have to remove the chain and replace it with a nylon or leather strap, but the chain is also made of light materials. It isn't harsh, so I have been able to ride in it just fine.
Horse.com ROCKS! Love them!
I love horse.com. If I want something show quality, they have it. If I am putting cute tack together for a teenager or child on their first horse, I can find good quality tack they can rely on for ages and stay really inexpensive. This little S hackamore nosepiece is to replace one that was snagged by another rider. I don't even have to hold a grudge, because I replaced it with good quality at a great price.
Doesn't Get Better!!
High quality hack for the price, I am VERY Impressed! I bought one for myself (who owns a 14h pony) and my friend (who has a 15.3h MFT). Fit both horses perfectly and they both love it. Theyre just as nice as the $50 ones, I recommend them to everyone looking for one!
My horse responds very well to this hack.
I love this hackamore. The price of it is affordable and my horse is responding well to it. It would be nice if they had different colors to choose from though.
Everyone needs one or two of these in their barn!!
I was very pleased with the hack. Simple construction but effective. Looks nice, not cheap. && it works well !!!
Love this
My quarter horse mare loves this hackamore. No more head tossing . She hates a bit in her mouth. I like the rope nose band instead of a chain. Great price.
Works really good on little mare that has dental issues .quality is good for the price and the price is good.
Item was as expected,
Item is good quality for the price. Unsure about durability since I have only had it for a week. But I am happy with the quality and the price. This item comes horse sized unlike others I have tried that are Arab or pony sized.
BEST PRODUCT...LARGE HORSES!
Other brands were too small for our full size horses!!
Highly worth it for the price!!
Aside from the awesome price (got it on sale) and super fast delivery, this works so well for my 3 year old baby!!! He responds wonderfully. I had to get it because he has a sarcoid near his mouth and a bit rubbed, but this solved my problem! No rubbing, still have control. A little bit of getting used to, but he is doing great!
cheap yet very reliable
Fits my Arabian to the t! Beautiful finish and extremely affordable! Definitely a must have in every tack room!

I have a barrel horse in training that doesn't like bits. Has anyone used this on a barrel horse? Does it work well?
BEST ANSWER: I am also training my barrel horse and she hates bits/has some teeth issues. She responds so well with this and still turns the barrels better than she did before. She now doesn't fight with her head and has les behavior issues! It really depends on how your horse works in it but it is a great hackamore to try. The noseband on this one is very stiff and hard so I wrapped it with vet wrap.

It works wonderful!! I use it on every horse to break them to ride and then see what kind of bit they like. If they don't care for any certain bit and they are not going to be shown WP or EP then I keep them in this hack. It works great to teach a older horse to "whoa" as well. Any new horse I get in to train they all get this first to teach them to stop. Works wonders!!
I've used this on my upcoming four year old barrel horse as a transition from an o-ring snaffle. While he would respond halfway well to a bit, the hackmore has been absolutely perfect in getting the kind of rate and turns I need on the pattern. It was a very easy adjustment and I am more than happy with the way he rides in it.
yes i have a barrel gelding that can get hard on the bit when he gets excited this has enough pick up that he rates well and has enough give to allow ample room to bend and flex. It has a decent amount of stop if your horse knows what whoa means
I start all my barrel horses out on this. Most do great, occasionally I have a horse that needs more bite, but for the most part this is my bit of choice. I do start all my horses out being bosal trained, so they are used to nose pressure.
I like them for trail riding in but I wouldn't run my barrel horse in this type of hackamore because they aren't very sturdy and cheaply made. Basically you get what you pay for but I like them for a cheap trail riding bit.
Little S hacks have become very popular for barrel racing and are a good first hackamore, as they are fairly mild, acting similar to a side-pull.
Yes my daughter uses this to run her barrel horse. It also doesn't like the bit. It gives her just the right amount of control.
Yes! Between my sister and I we have 3 horses that use them they're way better than the old style hack that flips up.
My horse is not a barrel horse, but it works well on her. I changed the noseband, however.
Oh and wrap the nose band with vet wrap to protect their nose.

were do you attach the reins?
A shopper
on Aug 20, 2014
BEST ANSWER: the reins go in the circles at the bottom and the headstall attaches at the curve off of the rope noseband. Love this for horses that don't need heavy control.

I'm sorry I put where u put the headstall not the reins.. The reins attach to the circles. Also I would do some research on hackamores, like proper placement and use.
The reins attach to the lower circles of the hackamore. If you don't know how to use a hackamore, be advised that you can break a horses jaw if used incorrectly.
The reins attach at the rings at the bottom of the hackamore. Make sure they attach behind the slobber bar that connects the two rings.
The reins go on the metal part that looks like an U
Attach each end of the rein on each ring.

is the rope a waxed rope?

on May 10, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it's a waxed rope that you may want to put vet wrap over if it's too harsh.

Is the chain detachable?
A shopper
on Aug 22, 2014
BEST ANSWER: No, it holds on the hackamore and keeps it from slipping around. You don't to have to jack it up tight I do 2 fingers in between the chain and the horses chin as a good reference point.
BEST ANSWER: No, it holds on the hackamore and keeps it from slipping around. You don't to have to jack it up tight I do 2 fingers in between the chain and the horses chin as a good reference point.
No, and you don't want it to detach. It is 1/2 of what makes the hackamore work; there is no control without it.

how do you put it your headstall?
A shopper
on May 12, 2015
BEST ANSWER: It attaches to the big curved piece between the chain and the noseband. I found a picture online but links can't be used here. Look up S Hackamore sets at hought dot com. Hope this helps.

Hello, your bridle/head stall would attach at the top of the shank of the "s" with the rope nose band facing out. Then your reins would attach to the bottom of the shank of the "s"
the headstall simply goes on the first s curve behind the noise band. the arch between the noise band and the chin strap. it will balance its self no worries.
The ring part that goes up u put ur headtstall there the part that goes near his cheeck
Where the rope nose ends and the metal curves down, is where you attach your head stall
You connect it at the curved part on the shank.

What hackamore will fit a Percheron?
A shopper
on Nov 28, 2016
BEST ANSWER: This hackmore would be too small, I would use a side pull, or a Dr.cook cross under. A lot of hackamores don't fit draft breeds.

Probably not. It is sized for average horses approximately 800-1100 lbs.
If the horse has a large muzzle it will not fit.
