SmartPak Returns
We put our products to the test in our barns and on our horses, so we're confident that you'll be thrilled with your purchase. However, we know that life in the barn can sometimes be unpredictable. That's why we've created a stress-free return policy. If you purchase an item and it doesn't meet your expectations, we want to know about it, take care of you and give you your money back.
Free Return Shipping on all Sized Items
As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free!

The Fine Print
We love our products and we're happy to take them back - even custom items. We'll happily take back everything from engraved halters to personalized jackets - even embroidered blankets that have been worn (minus the manure, please). But there are a few things we have to restrict returns on (silly federal regulations).
Undergarments
Health regulations require that undergarments (including bras) need to be in new condition (tags and packages intact) in order to be returned. (Even if it wasn't required, do you really want to shop from a store that takes back used undergarments?!)
Saddles
As riders, we know what a big investment a saddle is. That's why we're proud to offer the best Test Ride program in the business. You can keep our Test Ride saddles risk-free for five days, to really make sure you like the fit and the feel. We know that to truly try a saddle, you have to really ride in it. So go ahead and girth it up. Forget about wrapping your stirrup leathers. Try it with or without a saddle pad. Basically, treat it like you already bought it, so you can make sure you really want to. Because when you buy a saddle from us, we want to make sure you love it. Of course, we want our other customers to love their new saddles, too.
That's why we have a Test Ride option for each saddle we carry - so that all of the other saddles can stay in pristine condition, waiting for their new owners. For this reason, if you purchase a saddle outside the Test Ride program, it's still eligible for return, but must be free from any marks or damage.
So that's it. Seriously. Those are all of our "rules." Well, except the most important one - treating our customers the way we want to be treated. So if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do, please call us at 1-800-461-8898 or email CustomerCare@SmartPak.com. We are always happy to help.

Does the job
For any english hackamore, this is fine. I did pay more expecting high quality from Herm Sprenger, though. The metal is great, the noseband is nice and squishy, but the leather and buckles are not of high quality. We will see how this holds up this year. Not that I wouldn't recommend it, but it just reminds me of the leather quality of the Micklem that disappointed me for what I paid for it. I would also like for it to come in a darker leather color than chestnut and for more holes in the noseband, but those are little nit picky things that are less important. Overall, it's just a hack, it'll be fine.

great quality!
I bought this about a month ago for a mare that doesn't go well in bits, and so far this product has been perfect! It arrived fairly supple, and further conditioning has only helped it. It fits a Welsh with a small head well, with plenty of room to adjust for a horse with a larger head. Well worth the price.

Comfortable noseband
The padding on the noseband is very soft. The curb strap however is pretty stiff, so I took off one star. My mare is happy jumping in this.

Great hackamore
I bought this four weeks ago due to bit cut. It fits well when adjusted properly. Fussy horse was fine in it. Was jumping in it in two weeks.

Just OK
Look of the hackamore is nice but am still questioning whether its real leather. Feels an awful lot like plastic or synthetic. Also, it may not fit a lot of horses because there is not much adjustability in the noseband. Was expecting more from a Herm Sprenger product.

leather is like plastic
I honestly don't like the color as it doesn't match the rest of my bridle.. needs to be made in a dark brown... not chestnut..

Helped respond to aids
My horse didn't like to listen to my seat and was constantly rushing or running through my hands. How I used this was just by squeezing my fingers and using my seat and he immediately responded with little to no pressure. He definitely was able to go into the contract of my hands after using this. In response to quality, I think it has a nice nose piece but I think the quality of the leather could be better. I'm sure with time it'll be broken in but it definitely does not come supple or pliable.

Did not fit correctly...
I bought this for my KMH that has had a prior injury to his tongue. I have been trying to ride in halter & reins which worked and it was suggested that I try a hackamore. I bought this but the horses face is too long for the shanks. I would recommend this for a short faced type horse but not a long faced horse. Good product; nothing to do with seller or the product itself. I had to return it.

overall good quality
The padded nose piece seems to be good quality, however like most hackamores (I was hoping not this one) the chin strap is cheap, and would probably break after a week or so.
