What Makes Jack's Manufacturing Different?

Co- Creator of Delange's Single Tree Products, LLC shares how the comfort hackamore was created:

Jay and I have had horses for many years. It was during the training clinics we have done, that the ideas for these products were born. While observing the sensitivity of a horses’ head, Jay came up with the idea of the hackamore. With a lot of trial and error, the comfort hackamore is his answer. It is relatively soft so as not to "sore" the nose or jaw on the horse. The rope that we use transmits movement very nicely so as to “que” the horse with as light a touch as possible. The more that you work at it with the horse, the "lighter" they become. We do a lot of trail riding in the mountains and sometimes on very tough trails. With the hackamore being made of rope, if the horse was to fall, there is no bit in the mouth to hurt the horse. From our customers, the most common remark that we get is that “the horse is so much calmer than when being ridden with a bit. It's as if they have had an attitude adjustment”. We not only use the hackamore for trail riding but we've done cattle sorting and have started both our horses in lower level reining. Most recently we are competing in competitive trail riding.

Comfort Hackamore

This rope hackamore is great as a training tool, or just to give your horse a break from the bit. Best of all, it is great for pleasure riders who want to ride their horses bit-less. It is light weight and will not rub your horse. This is not a leverage hackamore. Instead, it works off the nerve endings under the jaw. Ride with confidence and control, with a light feel.

Comfort Hobbles

The comfort hobble is made of braided nylon rope. When we do long stays in the mountains, hobbling twice a day, leather or flat nylon hobbles leave some bad rubs around the pasterns. With the flat braided nylon they do not rub. They are not only strong and adjustable, but very light weight and easy to carry.

I have tried several hackamores-- even ones purported to be kind and forgiving-- after a few days, my horse would typically become "dull" or even rebellious from the light pressure on her nose. NOT SO with the "Comfort Hackamore"... I was Amazed at her responsiveness and acceptance of this hackamore. I would recommend this Hackamore to everyone!

How Do I Train My Horse To Switch To The Comfort Hackamore?

Start in a round pen or other safe fenced area. Start on the ground by flexing the horse left and right using a very light bumping motion. Once the horse is giving to the pressure you can get on and do just like you did on the ground. Remember the horse learns from the Release of pressure not the pressure itself. Start at the walk and practice one rein stops. Do not release the horse until he gives with his head. When he is doing good at the walk progress to the trot doing the same. When you have the one rein stop mastered start asking for turns, remember to ask as gentle as you can and still get results. As you ride remember to ride with as little contact as possible. (light hands make for light horses)

What Do You Mean By Use A "Light Touch?"

One way to picture a light touch is to envision your reins as garden hoses. you have water in your hoses and don't want to lose any, if you pull too hard out goes the water. So keep some drape in your reins. You can shorten the reins and still keep slack by moving your hands forward. Think of this, if I hold your arm gently for 5 minutes and then start to squeeze you won't feel it until I have squeezed quite hard because your arm is numb. I have ridden my horse in the hackamore for 7 years now and I have to use almost no pressure because I constantly try to get lighter and lighter.
