Loop-end Style Hackamore Headstall w/ Browband and Fiador (please indicate whether you want a rope or mohair fiador)
Qty: Price: $70.00 Shipping: $10.00

 Traditional Fiador (throatlatch) for the complete hackamore rig - Made from either high quality 3/16" double braided yatch line used for sail shrouds or from 100% mohair cord, these fiadors serve as both a throatlatch and to stabilize and balance the bosal on the bridge of the horse's nose. Used to limit the hang and the bump found in the use of the larger colt type bosals. Many purists of the Old Californio style believe the colt hackamore must have this setup to help teach the horse how to respond to the rider while preserving the soft mouth for later graduation to the bridle.
