I love a hackamore if it works for your horse. I also
do Gymkhana and find the delayed response is not fast enough for gymkhana
events. I have also compromised and used a bit for the first 25 and a hack
for the last 25 miles of a 50. Maybe in a multiday situation you could use
a hack after the first day, assuming your horse mellowed out a bit !! They can
obviously eat & drink more readily !
