BRIDLE No. 05 | BROWN
A classic style hackamore with a design that ensures the cheek pieces do not come too close to the eye. The bridle sits securely with double jowl straps, and the nosepiece can be adjusted in several places for an optimal fit. The poll piece provides space for the mane and protects the sensitive temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
The orange OCTA symbol is located in the center front of the hackamore and on the left side of the browband.
For those who want to ride BITLESS but still have full control and impact.
If your horse has MOUTH/TEETH PROBLEMS and you want to completely avoid using a bit.
Are you unsure about what size to order? Check out our SIZE GUIDE
The bridles are true to size, so if your horse usually wears a full, it’s likely the same size will work for this bridle as well. It’s most common to have the same size for all parts.
If you know that your horse typically needs a bigger or smaller part, you can order the bridle according to what you think is best.
You always have the option to exchange the size of one or more parts after trying the bridle at home in the stable, and we offer free exchanges, so you don’t have to bear the return cost.
However, we do ask that you notify us in advance if you plan to exchange a part, so we can reserve it for you. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to take pictures or a video and send them to us so we can help guide you to the best solution. We won’t rest until everything fits perfectly, so we really encourage you to both film/take photos and brainstorm ideas with us.

HACKAMORE
LEAVES THE EYE FREE
A classic-style hackamore where there is no risk of the cheekpiece sitting too close to the eye. The bridle stays securely in place with double throatlashes, the nosepiece can be adjusted in several places.
The OCTA symbol is placed at the front of the hackamore and on the left side of the browband.
PADDED IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES
HEADPIECE that protects the TMJ
The headpiece of this bridle, like all our others, is softly padded along the ear. It features a small "tunnel" where the mane can comfortably fit, but most importantly, the headpiece includes a perfectly positioned cushion to protect the TMJ (temporomandibular joint), which, simply put, is the joint where the lower jaw attaches to the skull. It is considered the most sensitive joint in the horse’s body and can be compared to our temples.
COMMON PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH TMJ PAIN
- Head shaking
- Sensitive ears, head-shyness, reluctance to be bridled
- Tendency to place the tongue over the bit
- Tension in the neck
- Prefers to carry the head slightly tilted
The browband is easy to change but has a fixed position, so it cannot move up or down.
