Re: RC: sleister hackamores

Then only use a light touch on him. The long shanks will
only provide more leverage than the shorter shanks if you
actually use them.  You might have to be more careful, but
that may actually be a good thing (training yourself for
lighter hands).

I've been using a plain mechanical hack on my gelding lately
and it doesn't fit right. I think I'll look into a Sleister
myself.
