Nunn Finer sells eight hackamores, and the Crossroad has the slightest leverage while the Leveler and Stealth have the most. All eight have a wide, padded noseband that follows the contours of the horse's face, stainless steel shank cheekpieces and a leather or chain curb of your choice.
Choose by leverage first, then by cheekpiece length. The table lists each hackamore's leverage and cheekpiece length as Nunn Finer publishes them, and Nunn Finer describes the Leveler and Stealth as made for horses needing heavy added pressure that are quite resistant. For a bit rather than a hackamore, Nunn Finer's Sensation Bits pair an ergonomically shaped mouthpiece with German silver, which Nunn Finer says takes pressure off the palate.
| Hackamore | Leverage | Cheekpiece length |
|---|---|---|
| Crossroad Hackamore | Slight | 4-1/4 in |
| Double Biscuit Hackamore | Light-moderate | 5 in |
| Roundabout Hackamore | Moderate | 4-7/8 in |
| Seahorse Hackamore | Moderate-high | 5-1/2 in |
| Multiple Choice Hackamore | Moderate-high | 6 in |
| Persuader Hackamore | Moderate-high | 6 in |
| Leveler Hackamore | High | 6-3/4 in |
| Stealth Hackamore | High | 6-3/4 in |

Nunn Finer bridles and reins: hunter, event and dressage
Nunn Finer makes a bridle for each ring. The Monica and Caterina Hunter Bridles are Italian leather with fancy-stitched raised brow and noseband, and the Caterina has the traditional hunter crown that takes a nameplate. For eventing, the Event Bridle has 5/8-inch cheeks with a padded browband and caveson, and the Figure 8 has a clincher browband and padded figure 8 noseband with an interchangeable sheepskin or neoprene button pad. The Brentina is the dressage bridle, with a padded crown and padded flash cavesson.
For reins, Nunn Finer's Super Soft Grip Rein uses a rubber formulation that Nunn Finer made grippier wet or dry. Sure Grip Reins are nylon webbing with woven rubber threads, with less bulk than all rubber, and the Grand Prix Reins have leather hand stops every 6 inches for dressage contact. The Bella Donna Soft Grip Reins pair Italian leather with the soft grip material.
See them: Monica Hunter Bridle, Caterina Hunter Bridle, Figure 8 Event Bridle, Brentina Dressage Bridle, Super Soft Grip Reins and Grand Prix Reins.

Nunn Finer breastplates and martingales: hunting, 5-way and running
Nunn Finer breastplates cover foxhunting, eventing and everyday riding. Match the breastplate to your saddle and the work, then add a running or standing attachment where the style takes one.
The Irish Martingale is a 9-inch leather piece for eventing that keeps reins from slipping over the horse's head. Running Martingales are 1-inch bridle leather, and the Bellissimo, Argento, Florona and Bella Donna collections each have matching martingales and attachments for their bridles.
| Breastplate | Made for | What Nunn Finer lists |
|---|---|---|
| All Purpose Elastic Breastplate | Everyday versatility | 2-inch neck straps, German elastic, horse size only |
| Hunting Breastplate | Foxhunting | Premium bridle leather, adjustable on near and off sides |
| Elastic Hunting Breastplate | Hunting | German elastic inserts in the neck strap |
| 5-Way Breastplate | A secure, adjustable fit | Five contact points, matching running attachment, removable sheepskin |
| Bellissimo Hunting Breastplate | Hunting | Italian bridle leather with fancy stitching, matching running attachment |

Nunn Finer dressage girths: Piaffe, Passage and Tempi
Nunn Finer's dressage girths include the Piaffe, Passage and Tempi. The Piaffe is soft leather with a billet design that equalizes pressure, ergonomic contours and extra padding.
The Passage and Tempi both have a contour design with rolled edges, elastic at both ends for even pressure, and padding behind the buckles. Nunn Finer says dressage riders designed the Passage and a top dressage rider designed the Tempi. Nunn Finer also makes the Valeria, Andrea and Encanto girths, a Contour Elastic Double End Girth, and jumper and detachable girth rings.

Nunn Finer studs, plugs and bell boots for eventing
Nunn Finer's Easiest Stud Yet line has a self-starting channel that cleans out the stud hole as the stud is screwed in. Nunn Finer makes road, spike, bullet and block studs in lettered shapes, so you can match the stud to the footing.
Easiest Plugs Yet are rubber stud plugs in bright colors with a center hole for a horseshoe nail, and Stud Blanks are steel and go in with an allen wrench. The Safety Spin is a short tap that Nunn Finer says reduces the chance of a horse stepping on a tee tap. For boots, the Capriole Brushing Boots are washable leather with synthetic fleece, and the American Style Bell Boot has an anti-rotational heel button.

What riders say about Nunn Finer
Riders on Nunn Finer girths, reins, bits and bridles, in their own words.
★★★★★
Love this girth. Also have the passage. They are both great. Nice leather, padding, and shape. This one does not have any elastic but it forgiving via the leather as it moves through the buckles. Works great for my horse! The buckles were tough to get even in her with the passage or any standard girth. With this one it adjust to the horse and the movement.
