| Much of the program is taught to the human and the horse using a rope halter and rope hackamore. |
| The hackamore did make it easier for Hedge, who rode up and threw a half hitch around his saddle horn. |
| He danced to a stop, neck forced into a tight arch, his rider's hand tight on the hackamore. |
| Trek hopped over the gate easily, something he hadn't done in a while, and slipped the hackamore over his rope halter. |
| Then he put the hackamore on it and took it out to the gate and tied it to the fence. |
| She puts her head right in the hackamore but won't stand still for the bit. |
