The Stübben Hackamore Steeltec is a bitless hackamore with shanks. Through those shanks it works with leverage on the nose and more lightly on the poll; it has no mouthpiece. We stock it in Pony, Cob/Full and X-Full, in Black and Ebony.
About this hackamore
This is the classic hackamore shape: a padded noseband, a chin strap and two shanks on which you hang the reins. Stübben describes the action as pressure on the nose through shanks with leverage, and more lightly on the poll. A hackamore is therefore not a gentler alternative to a snaffle, but a different instrument that acts in different places.
The noseband is softly padded and adjustable in height through the hooks for the cheek pieces; the fit itself you adjust with the chin strap. That the leverage would be adjustable is something Stübben does not state: what you adjust is the height and the fit.
For materials Stübben states stainless steel and leather. Steeltec is part of the model name; which grade of steel sits behind it, the manufacturer does not specify, any more than the length of the shanks or the material of the padding. Care: wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild saddle soap and then feed it with a leather conditioner; wipe the metal parts and rub them thoroughly dry so that no rust or residue is left behind.
Leverage amplifies what your hand does. So ride with a quiet, independent hand, avoid constant pressure on the rein, and start in walk somewhere your horse knows so that it first learns what pressure on the nose means. A bitless model can hurt too, when it is used roughly or without proper judgement.
Within our range this is the direct one of the two Stübben hackamores. If you want to be able to set the action yourself without fixed shanks, the Stübben Flower Ring is the variable choice. If you want to ride bitless without leverage, look at a bitless bridle that works only sideways or across. And for dressage tests you need a bit: a snaffle or a double bridle is generally prescribed there — check your own federation's rulebook.
