Le hackamore. Presque tous les cavaliers connaissent cette embouchure, qui n'en est pas réellement une puisque le cheval n'a rien dans la bouche. [...] Tout d'abord, le hackamore existe dans de très différents modèles. Il peut avoir de longues branches, courbées ou non, une gourmette en cuir ou en chaîne, une bande nasale recouverte de peau de mouton ou en «chaîne de vélo», etc. [...] Lors du débourrage, la transition caveçon-mors peut être impressionnante pour un jeune cheval sensible. Un hackamore peut alors être envisagé afin de l'habituer, sans abîmer la bouche, aux actions des rênes. 4, record 2, French, - bridon%20hackamore
