The Schneiders FES Hackamore with Fleece Lined 6" Chrome Plated Cheeks is a mechanical device that uses leverage similar to a curb style bit. It is ideally suited for well-broke, mature horses, or for those with dental issues. The fleece lined leather nose band is used as leverage for control, ensuring both efficacy and comfort for your horse. The shorter 6" chrome-plated cheeks make contact less harsh, offering a gentler control. The overall gentleness of the device is dependent on the rider's hands, encouraging responsible equestrian practices. A curb chain is included. This hackamore represents the Schneiders FES brand's commitment to quality and effective horse control.
