The rings are in the shape of a “D”. The hinge helps to keep the horse’s mouth from being pinched by the bit as it moves.

PELHAM

Hackamores are not bits, it is a bridle that is designed to place pressure on a horse’s head without the use of a bit.

Not every bit will work for every horse. Harsher bits require experienced riders to avoid injuring the horse. Watch your horse’s mouth for injuries.
