The first trainer i worked for 30 yrs ago Wow. told me there were no big secrets to horse training just alot of small ones. Thats a good tip! Tried it today.
I have a mare and a gelding that ride 99% of the time with a bosal. On my mare, she has four wraps and I make my reins between the middle wraps. The gelding also has four wraps. But, the reins are made between the third and fourth wrap. He is a qt/morgan cross. And the mare is appendix. Both horses do very very well in the bosal. They do most everything I need them do. The mecate’s are 5’8 horse hair. Great informative video. Thank you. Question Bret, some schools of thought say to shape the bosal so that the bottom bends forward towards the horses towards the chin. (More action with softer hands). The other school of thought, is to leave the bosal straight. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.
Sure appreciate your practical approach to tack rather than "we do it that way because tradition." Similar to Pat Puckett way of thinking --do it that way because it works and you thought it through----not because "that's the way Grampa did it."

I have seen folks bend them like that but I have never seen the necessity, it just slows the action.

@@JeffUm you bet, I hope it helped some.
