In the interests of
clarity:
"Hackamore" is the english/amercan
version of the spanish word "jacquima", a braided rawhide
or leather "bosal" or noseband, with reins attached at a "heel knot" at
the chin area.
Any device that has metal parts, or other factors
that give a leverage action on the nose/jaw, with or without a
mouthpiece, with reins attached on the lower end of each cheek
piece, is a bit. This is sometimes called a "hackmore
bit" "S hack" "jumping hackamore" and other
terms.
"Bitless bridles" have actions that are also
different, and more complicated.
All are valuble at different times, on different
horses, for different purposes.
When recommending something to others please be
sure everyone knows which you mean.
