They can both be harsh. It depends on how the rider uses them..... So I really don't think there is anything to argue about. Just be carful in all cases!

My horse for example is terribly unhappy with a bit, but is a perfect angel with a hackamore. And my green broke pony is the opposite. So,ya, it all depends.

But with bits, most horses like them because if they're the kind of bit that has a "twirly" thing, horses use their tongue to roll it around. It's like a little game for them. Also, if hackamores can be "used" incorrectly, think of what it would be like for a beginner rider... poor horsey... Awesome job, Allison! I really liked the blog :) MM I couldn’t have said it better myself!
