good morning, I would like to try my horse in a hackamore. Any suggestions on one that would be a good switch from a two piece twisted charmayne James bit.

You're going to have to be more specific on what your horse does and what you want it for.

Does horse throw it's head, pull through the bit, shake it's head, chomp the bit, run barrels, run poles, run away!, Bow off the barrels, have trouble turning,  Is the horse really good in a bit? why change?  Is the horse soft and supple, is it totally broke, can you ride in a halter? 

There are lots of hacks, some are lighter, some are more severe.  Just depends on the horse on what works.

My horse use to toss her head ALL the time despite having her teeth checked to make sure she wasn't hurting. I switched her to a Little S hackamore and she has been absolutely perfect ever since. No more head shaking and I use the Little S to both work her and compete. I guess she just really hates a bit in her mouth?! But she's a happy girl now!

But everyone else is right about needing more details, I just though sharing my situation would help :)
