Bitless Bridles Side Pulls, Hackamores, and Bosals for Younger Horses or Horses in Training

If you’ve just started the process of training your horse or have a younger horse, you need hackamore, bosal, and side pull bridles. These bitless bridle styles help apply pressure to your horse’s noseband rather than the bit. Bosals and side pulls provide additional communication methods during training, such as applying pressure to the nose and jaw. State Line Tack has a large assortment of hackamore, side pull, and bosal bridles for horses so you can start training off on the hoof!

We offer bitless bridles from top brands like Aime Imports, Cowboy Tack, JT International, Mustang, Tory Leather, and more. The Mustang Harness Leather Breaking Hackamore is one of our best-selling hackamore bridles because of its great feel, thickness, ease on the hands, and ability to direct horses well. This headstall is made from harness leather with an adjustable round braided throat latch and a braided noseband.

For a more affordable option, the Basic Poly Side Pull Rope Training Halter is the perfect alternative to using reins without a bit. The side pull bridle allows you to comfortably train a young horse or ride with an older horse without experiencing discomfort for a bit. It features four knots across the noseband which adds pressure where needed so you can have more control.

Whether your horse is young, old, or just beginning training, State Line Tack has the Western bitless bridles you need for successful training and riding sessions.

What is the purpose of a Western hackamore or bitless bridle?

Western hackamores, bosals, and side pulls serve as indispensable training tools, particularly for starting younger horses or working with mature horses. Instead of a traditional bit, these bitless bridles shift control and communication from the mouth to external pressure points along the horse's noseband, jaw, and poll.

How does a side pull differ from a mechanical hackamore?

A side pull (like the Tough1 Rolled Side Pull or Basic Poly Training Halter) applies direct lateral pressure to the sides of the nose and jaw, making it excellent for teaching a young horse to turn. A mechanical hackamore uses elongated metal shanks or cheeks to generate leverage on the poll and chin, offering increased control and flexion for well-broke horses.

Are bitless options like bosals suitable for older or finished horses?

Yes. While widely used for breaking and training, bitless options are highly effective for mature horses with dental issues or those that prefer bitted alternatives. Specialized performance options, such as the Classic Equine Bozo Sidepull, are specifically designed to keep finished performance horses rateable and comfortable during high-speed runs.
