Professional's Choice Brittany Pozzi Hackamore – Lateral Control

Sharpen Your Turn Without the Bit

When your horse gets too bendy under pressure or goes better without a mouthpiece, the Professional's Choice Brittany Pozzi Hackamore offers nose-pressure leverage with independent side-pull action to help keep your horse upright and responsive through fast turns. Co-designed with World Champion Brittany Pozzi, it's built for barrel racers who want lateral guiding control without a bit.

Three shank lengths let you choose the balance of lift and whoa, and the weighted, rubber-covered metal nosepiece gives a stable pre-signal with swivel action for lateral control.

Why Riders Choose the Brittany Pozzi Hackamore

• Three shank lengths — 6.5", 7.25" and 8" to match the pressure to your horse and run style.
• Independent lateral cues — the swivel/side-pull design helps you guide and shape the turn.
• Helps with shoulder lift — designed to help horses stay gathered and upright through the pocket.
• Weighted, rubber-covered nosepiece — a stable pre-signal; the rubber cover helps reduce friction versus bare metal or chain.
• A bit-free option — for horses that go better on nose pressure than a mouthpiece.
• Pro pedigree — co-designed with Brittany Pozzi and built for the rodeo road and practice pen.

Best For

Barrel racers and speed-event riders looking for lateral control and shoulder lift on a horse that prefers nose pressure to a bit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which shank length should I choose?

As a general guide, the 6.5" (short) gives lighter, milder communication; the 7.25" (medium) is the popular all-around choice for lateral guiding and moderate lift; and the 8" (long) offers more leverage for horses that need help rating and collecting. Your horse's sensitivity, your hands and personal preference all matter — many riders try a length and adjust. Introduce any leverage device gradually.

Q: Does it come with a curb strap?

No — the curb strap is sold separately, and it's how you adjust fit and pressure, so choose one to match your horse and the shank length you're using.

Q: Will the nosepiece rub?

The metal nosepiece is covered in rubber to help reduce friction on the bridge of the nose and to add the weight that gives a clear pre-signal. As with any hackamore, check the nose regularly for rubs and make sure the fit is correct.
