Like new Parelli Natural Hackamore – red halter with black reins. Horse size.

In 1982, in Pat’s first clinics, he was bound and determined to get people to learn to quit pulling on both reins at once, so he had everybody ride with the rope halter and just a lead rope. His students were astounded at the progress they made riding this way. It broke most of their bad habits that they didn’t even know they had. As a teacher, Pat’s theory has always been to isolate, separate, and combine. After riding two sessions with one rein, he had them tie the lead rope to the halter to make a loop rein and try the same exercises with their newly formed habits, so they could then go back to riding with two reins. Pat, knowing that he was trying to help his students become a Complete Horseman, whether they were Trail Riders, or rode English or Western, he knew that an interim tool between riding with just a halter and graduating to the Parelli Horseman’s Snaffle Bridle was needed. Soon was born the Natural Hackamore which is made from two simple ingredients; the Parelli Rope Halter that is specially adapted to fit the Horseman’s Reins, and our 22-foot Horseman’s Reins made from yachting braid, so that you have a 12- foot lead and a 9-foot loop rein. Many students ask if it’s necessary to graduate to a snaffle bit, and the answer is: only if you want to complete the full program. If your goal is to ride your horse on trail rides and to use your horse for leisure riding, most people are happy to stay at this stage. Pat usually rides his young horses up to 100 hours before graduating to a bosal or the Parelli Horseman’s Snaffle Bridle, depending on the horse’s level of sensitivity or tendencies to push on pressure.
