General working of the EDIX Hack-Q® bridle
Through a small wiggling action with the reins the rider can use a clear 'pre-cue' signal, by sending this energy to the rings. By taking up contact with the reins the rider can use a small, limited leverage action engaging the chinstrap and the noseband together, after this short action the contact is being distributed completely to the noseband. It is possible to use contact on the noseband only, or only contact to the curb strap This is all depending on the adjustment and tightness of the straps in combination with the direction and the action of your hands. There is no added pressure to the poll, the Hack-Q® shanks have a direct release, and giving the poll complete relief.
The broad surface of the noseband, makes sure your aids are lightly and evenly given to your horse. Combined with the Hack-Q® shanks, the noseband does not slide up nor down. Pressure will never be more than the weight you take in your hands. And by the design of the Hack-Q® shanks the noseband is positioned higher on the head than the chinstrap. This is to keep breathing completely free and to spare the vulnerable part of the nasal bone. The large surface area of the noseband ensures that the rein signals are distributed over a large area and have a gentle effect.
The EDIX Hack-Q® shanks are designed for minimal and limited leverage, and therefore will never inflict pain. The action of the small leverage is to be received as a cue. The contact is distributed to the noseband when the limit of the leverage is reached. You can differ the action of leverage as well by giving your rein aids upwards. Horses lean into pressure if you keep the pressure on all the time. Giving light short signals with the Hack-Q® and always release , are a more sufficient way to develop a respectful communication.
The design of the Hack-Q® , the position of the straps and connection of the reins to the rings, which are able to move to all directions, are assuring the Hack-Q® can be used very well with one-sided rein action , i.e. lateral action of the hand as you also experience with a side pull bridle. In contrary to other hackamore shanks who DO flip over, the EDIX Hack-Q® shanks stay stable on your horse's head and allow you, in case of emergency to make a one-rein stop.
The hack-Q® is designed in such a way that the 'cheek pieces of the bridle' do not shift during rein contact. This is due to the specific design of the metal part, which rotates at the end of the cheek pieces like a see-saw. This keeps the cheek pieces calm and positioned.
Due to the pivoting action of the Hack-Q® shanks at the end of the cheekpieces, the Hack-Q® does not exert any extra pressure behind the ears when pulling the reins.
The Hack-Q® shanks have an immediate release, The rein aids are received directly and removed directly when the rein is relaxed. Good differentiation of signals gives clear communication with your horse. The Rings on the Hack-Q® shanks give you an extra option to use a 'pre-cue' by wiggling the reins so the energy is directed to the rings only. This will make a clear sound and vibration for extra dimension in communication.
All EDIX bridles are having a unique designed two-piece anatomically shaped crownpiece. The two separate parts are adjustable and can be perfectly adjusted to the curve of your horse's ears.
The unique and specially shaped headpiece is there to optimally protect the vulnerable part behind the ears with nerves on top of your horse's atlas and the anatomical shape and soft padding provide maximum comfort for the horse. The throat strap is positioned on the jaw for extra stability, and helps in case of an emergency stop to keep the bridle positioned on your horse's head.
The throat strap is positioned under the jaw for extra stability, and also ensures that the bridle remains around your horse's head in the event of an emergency stop.
