Four years ago i bought a 2 going on 3 year old. I work closely with a trainer who studies with Buck Brannamen and she has taught me a lot. But i have been exploring other trainers and clinicians and have been starting to question the progression from snaffle, hackamore, 2 rein then bridle. I am still using the snaffle, and am ready for hackamore. I question the necessity of it when so many people go right from snaffle to a shank bit. thoughts?

the process is slow but effective, i’m wondering if the hackamore is worth the expense since other disciplines skip this step. what are the benefits to the horse and rider as opposed to just moving on to a shank bit and riding one handed with romel.Â
