This has 7 inch Cheeks and a Rope Nose. It is a very well designed hackamore. Medium plus leverage for good control and rate. No knots on the rope to gall the horse's face. Notice how well the nose floats when you pull the shanks, but will not drop down. Also, the shanks swivel for better flex. It's tempting to call this a shanked sidepull but it has too much control and rate. Rope nose for more control.It comes with LIFETIME GUARANTEE from the manufacturer - REINSMAN.
