Professional's Choice Bob Avila Mechanical Hackamore

The angled design is specifically engineered to sit correctly against the horse's jaw, which prevents the pinching often associated with standard, straight-hanger hackamores. This ensures a more comfortable experience for the horse during engagement.

Yes, this is an excellent option for horses that resist traditional bits. Because it operates on pressure points across the nose and chin rather than inside the mouth, it provides a clear, bitless communication method that many sensitive horses prefer.

An 8.5-inch cheek offers a moderate amount of leverage. It provides enough length to give the rider effective control and clear communication without being overly severe, making it a balanced choice for both trail riding and training.

The floral embellishments give this hackamore a refined, polished aesthetic that is appropriate for the show ring. While it is a functional tool for training, its design is elevated enough to look professional in competition settings.

This hackamore is designed to attach to standard headstalls. You simply remove your existing bit and cheek pieces, then attach the hackamore shanks to your headstall's cheek straps and curb strap.
