Absolutely love it great quality and my horse rides so much better since I’ve received it
Works very well! Just what I was needing
Little s hackamore
The hackamore was as described.
Such a great hackmore!
My horses enjoy them and I love the simplicity of the design .
Great hackamore
Works well and fits perfect on 15.3 hand paint and on 15 hand Arabian. I added padding to nose rope.
Excellent choice if choosing to go with a hackamore!
I absolutely love this hackamore. It's gentle enough on my mare and she don't toss her head around. She responds really well.
I would recommend this hackamore to use on a good responsive horse.
rusts
the metal pieces and the chain rust. it cleans easy but it seems like each time i clean it . . .it rusts again.

Worth It
Decided to try this on my OTTB since we’ve been struggling with finding a bit he really likes. He loves the freedom and listens very well in a little s hack! Quality is pretty decent, was worth the buy in my opinion.
Nice !

It’s been to hot to do a lot of riding with it but I have had my boy out in Ormonde. It took a minute for him to follow the reins without a bit, but he got it. I think as we ride more, he’ll do well.
The hackamore is well made but I might change out the really stiff rope across the nose.
Great item for the price.

Wonderful Hackamore
This is a great hackamore for the price! I was having a hard time finding a hackamore for my new horse until I found this one. He was abused and broke hard in the beginning. After being broke harshly and put straight into a correctional bit, he would not let his next owners prior to me put a bit of any kind in his mouth. I tried several kinds of hackamores, mechanical, eniglish, different cheek lengths, leather curb, chain curb, etc. This Little S Hackamore was the best of them all! I was able to direct and stop him with this one. He needed a hackamore with a bit of a bite to it, but yet still gentle. I wrapped the rope nose with fleece to prevent rubbing and indent on his nose. He gladly puts his head down and nose right into the bridle with this hackamore. He is very relaxed in it as well! Great product for the value! I highly recommend!!! The only con I have to say is the rope frays fast. After 2-3 uses the rope started to stick out all over, guess the wax rubbed off. Just cover the rope and the function is still great.
LOVE!!
Love my hacks! Have purchased 2, and am transitionin 3 more of my mares to ride in it!
Love it.
THIS HACKAMORE WORKS GOOD ON MY HORSE. I WAS READY TO SALE HER UNTIL I GOT THIS HACKAMORE. MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.
The rope nose was a little bigger than I expected but it does the job!
Hackamore
Good and effective hackamore
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.
This product works well
This item was shipped quickly and exactly described. Would buy from you again and tell others about you
Durability: 3
LOVE!!!
Bought this for my half blind barrel pony and let me tell you, she works amazing in it! I've always had bit troubles with her which ended up in me either getting thrown or a bucking party, she's using her hind more and really working the pattern without much help.
Durability: 5
Stylish and well-constructed, but harsh noseband
I bought this for my gelding pony, because I liked the look and color. I bought the vet tape to wrap the noseband, but I'm thinking it is still too harsh. My pony already rides in a hack with a wide fleece noseband, so I ordered another one like that with the plan to replace the noseband on this one, but the leather straps are too wide for it to fit. So now I have two hacks for him, but neither one exactly works. This hack would probably be more suited to a green horse in training.

Great hackamore
Great hackamore. Works great for trail riding and barrel racing.
Durability: 4
Absolutely love it
Fits perfectly, adjustable chain, we also ordered colored paracord and did a cool cobra weave over the noseband to liven it up a bit. Super well made and works great. We ordered more.
Durability: 5
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!
This hackamore is working great with my 4 year old racking mare
My new young horse needed something mild to teach her the basics without scaring her. This hackamore is just what she needs at this early stage of her training.

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.
My mare responded very well with it
I've been riding my mare in a mechanical hackamore for 15 years, I decided to try something different so I ordered a little S hackamore. My mare loved it! She responded better to my cues than ever before! Thanks stateline tack!
Durability: 5
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!
Love this hack!
I bought this hackamore and another more expensive one that was similar because I wasn't sure which one I would like. I chose to keep this one because the nose band was rigid but seemed to be softer than the other. I also liked the coating over the wire and I love the little clip to adjust the chin strap. I love it so much that I bought another one for our other horse.
Durability: 5
Great first impressions!
I tried it on but haven't rode in it yet. It fit him well for him being on the smaller size. Very impressed.
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!
Not to harsh
a simple Hackamor was easy for me to put on the headstallI like this as well or better than a bit. New to me but think I'll try one on my hunter jumper that does not have a great stop..

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.

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.

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.
