The Lydney is a hackamore bridle: it is used without a bit. The action is applied through the noseband and poll by means of 152 mm stainless steel shanks that create leverage—a real leverage system that you need to understand before using it.
The noseband has extra-soft padding, which is essential since it receives all the pressure. The headpiece is the symmetrical, lined BR E-Line Anatomic, whose rounded E shape clears the area behind the ears. English leather.

🐎 Why choose this product?
A hackamore is useful in specific situations: a sore mouth, a tooth undergoing treatment, or a young horse you want to work without a bit. It is not gentler than a bit—152 mm shanks exert significant leverage on the nasal bridge and poll.
🧴 Usage advice
⚠️ A hackamore is not something to improvise with: seek guidance for the first sessions and begin working in an enclosed arena. A heavy hand on a hackamore can injure the nasal cartilage. Check the noseband padding before every outing.
Composition: English leather, stainless steel.
