Custom made Hackamore bridle

[winnieandben]

I would really like to use an english hackamore on Jinx.  She has a non standard fit head though and the hackamore slides about on her face and the cheeks get really close to her eyes.  I picked up a German hackamore for her to experiment with fit etc and it fits so much better.  I rode her out on a hack with it today but really not keen on the action with it (just rode with reins at buckle today!) but have played about with it on her in the stable.

So would like to try and design something to use with the english hackamore shanks and have it made.  I have a good saddler and I am sure he would like a challenge    Anyone any ideas to help me with design????? 

Thanks

PS I have been waiting a long time for Heather to get her hackamore bridle on the go  but cant wait any longer

Have a look at the tellington side pull called a lindel.....google it....some of the elements from there you could show to your saddler as she has designed it really well so there is no slippage.

  Thanks for that.  Think thats what it needs the strap under the jaw and the nose piece made to measure for her.
