These videos are, hands down, the best collection of tutorials/historical/over view for bosal hackamores available on the internet. Thank you! (You had me a ‘Wild Beast’)
I know these are older clips, I just came across them, as I have Jeff's book The California Hackamore Horse, and I did the 100 mile walk course with Steve. I have to say, that the both of you have helped me understand SO much more than I have ever been taught about making a good horse. Thank you so very much. I love that you talk about all the old ways, and the equipment and what it REALLY was used for, and keeping the horse happy mentally and physically .
There can be such a connection between horse and rider that they can work as one in a ranch setting roping, doctoring cattle, etc. without any head gear.
Where would we be able to purchase the type of set up you are showing? I have a POA and it is hard to find good fitting tack for him. He is in between a quarter horse and a pony. Wonderful video. Thank you.
Interesting concept this hackamore. I wonder why not just use a good English bitless bridal ? It is so much easier to use and it has one big loop as reins. The hackamore has all these ropes hanging from this hackamore that I dont think I could figure out what they are for or how to use them. To each his own of course; I dont think this is my bag - interesting to see this though, so thank you for the nice video.
That is where you lose me..............going to the bridle for the extra refinement. You can get whatever degree of refinement you want with a rope halter. Hells bells, one can get to a point where no head gear is needed when roping and doctoring cattle...............the mutual trust and respect bond is that strong.
Hi Gerry. Thanks for your comment. I have ridden bareback and bridleless at all gaits and also roped. I would love to see some video of you doctoring cattle with no head gear. Please feel free to link to the video here so we can all see it. regards. Steve

Hi April, Thanks for your feedback. I am pleased to be able to share what has been shared with me and I an sure Jeff feels the same.
Great advice.
So much passion and deep knowledge! THANK YOU so much for taking the time to make this video! I subscribed and hope to see more from you!

Thank you for this outstanding video
A rope halter with lead line converted to reins gives such precise signals and is so simple to use.

Check out "think like a horse" video on bitless bridals ✌️
As Americans we have a natural aversion to anything “English” except our language which we of course bastardized 😜
I need to get Jeff's list!?!?... :)

I would say that this is the goal to aspire to, not a spade bit.
Never have used a snaffle- except on a plow horse
