DO YOU RIDE & TRAIN IN A HACKAMORE BRIDLE
We are looking for riders who ride in a Hackamore, and are interested in participating in research trials โคต๏ธ on Wednesday 6 May 2026.
As part of our extensive bridle-horse interaction research, using state of the art measuring equipment, we are conducting a scientific study comparing behaviour, noseband and headpiece pressures, and rein tension for horses ridden in a Hackamore and a snaffle bridle.

๐ดHorses and riders who compete in dressage/jumping with a snaffle bridle
๐ดHorses and riders who regularly train in a hackamore
๐ดBoth horse and rider must be accustomed to both the snaffle and the Hackamire bridle, and will be required to carry out a short ridden test (walk, trot, canter, transitions and turns) to confirm suitability.
