Een van de belangrijkste voordelen van het gebruik van een cavemore hoofdstel is dat je meer controle over je paard hebt. Cavemore hoofdstellen werken door druk uit te oefenen op de neus en het gezicht van het paard, waardoor je meer kracht hebt als je moet stoppen of je paard moet draaien. Dit kan vooral handig zijn als u met een jong of onervaren paard werkt. Cavemore hoofdstellen hebben ook drie of meer ringen op de neus waar je een tweede paar teugels aan kunt bevestigen.
cavemore hackamore
Shanks explained
Hackamore/cavemore shanks are the metal/brass parts that bring hackamore bridles together. They can be found on each side of the horse's head. Every hackamore shank works differently. FR Equestrian offers three different kinds of hackamore shanks. The Star, The Seahorse and The Love hackamore shank.
Below we will explain the working of each hackamore shank.
The Hackamore shanks
The Star shanks
The Star hackamore shank features a star-shaped ring. The star Hackamore shanks can be used in three different ways. The reins can be attached to hackamore 1, hackamore 2 and sidepull. The sidepull mode is just like a regular sidepull bridle. Hackamore 1 has a little leverage and hackamore 2 has more leverage. The longer the shanks are the more leverage and the more "control" and the sharper the hackamore bridle is.
These shanks can be purchased together with your bridle or separately.
The Seahorse
The Seahorse hackamore shank are the sharpest shanks fr equestrian has to offer. The seahorse shanks are real eye catchers. The Seahorse shanks are approximately 7 centimeters. The longer the shanks the more leverage they offer.
These shanks can be purchased together with your bridle or separately.
The Love shanks
The Love hackamore shank feature two heart shape shanks. The heart shanks are around 4-5 centimeters long.
These shanks can be purchased together with your bridle or separately.

Cavemore bridle sizing & fit
How to fit a cavemore bridle
You can determine yourself if your cavemore bridle fits your horse correctly. The noseband should be fitted as any other bridle. You should be able to put 2-3 fingers underneath your horses noseband on the middle of the noseband. The noseband its self should be placed 2 fingers underneath the cheek bone. If you are unsure if your hackamore bridle fits correctly please contact us here and we would be more than happy to help.
What size cavemore bridle do I need?
Each of FR Equestrians hackamore bridles have a detailed sizing chart. You can find these sizing charts on the bridles product pages. To fit a hackamore correctly we recommend you to take a look at "How to fit a hackamore bridle"
Which cavemore/hackamore shanks do I need?
When choosing the right cavemore shanks for you and your horse you need to keep in mind "The longer the shanks, the more leverage." So if you are in need of more leverage we recommend to go for a longer shank and if this is not the case we recommend to choose our star or love cavemore shanks which are both shorter and have therefor less leverage.
At the end of the day it does come to play on how you use your shanks.
