I'll preface this comment by saying that I am not a hackamore man.  I have used them and I think I have a cursory understanding of their origin and function, but I am limited to a couple dozen hackamore horses where some others have trained many more.  I know this though, the hackamore is only necessary if one is concerned with adhering to the California traditions.  That being said, a hackamore has a lot of value and a well rounded horseman should have a few in his tack room and he/she should understand how a hackamore works and when to use it.  "The Hackamore Reinsman" by Ed Connell is a good resource for info.  It's old, but the principles are timeless.  It's important to remember that a traditional hackamore functions opposite from a snaffle.  In other words, when we pull on the left rein in a snaffle the right side of the bit contacts the right side of the horse's face and pulls the horse to the left.  The hackamore is opposite.  

Stephen Gowling Snow here and frozen arena sand.  I guess we hug the heater and drink coffee.  😁

Stephen Gowling it sounds great!  If you need more forward remember to get it before asking for flexion.  That way they don't get confused.
