How is a hackamore bridle different from a sidepull?
A hackamore bridle is designed to hold compatible hackamore hardware. Its action and the pressure applied depend on the hardware fitted. A sidepull works differently, using direct rein pressure from rings positioned at the sides of the noseband. If you are deciding between a hackamore, sidepull or crossunder, see our Bitless & Multi Bridle Guide.
Custom BioThane® hackamore bridle
Choose your colour combination and size to create a hackamore bridle to suit your horse and tack. BioThane® is particularly practical for endurance, distance and trail riders because it is waterproof and easy to rinse clean after riding.
Please note: hackamore hardware affects leverage, rein feel and pressure. Choose and fit your hardware appropriately for your horse and riding setup. Made-to-order products are subject to the current workshop lead time shown on the website.

Sponsorship Appreciation
LS Equestrian very kindly sponsored a $200 voucher at the Endurance Nationals, Taneatua, for Standardbred Best Managed and I was the lucky winner. I chose a two toned blue breastplate to match my bridle which I had purchased from her last year.
Beautiful workmanship and I highly recommend LS Equestrian.

White Arab with a very plain white bridle, white reins needed! But the ones in the shop were for racing with the heavy, rough grips they were expensive for reins that weren’t quite what I wanted. While I paid a little more for the LS ones they are exactly what I wanted and I was able to specify desired length - no more excessive extra dangling about in the way.
