Members GrampaJoel Posted January 31, 2010 Members Report Posted January 31, 2010 Thalaskaru Ask What is the Bosal ? It is a device that goes over a horses nose. It is attached to some straps to keep it on the horses head and a rope it tied just above the button on the bottom. The rope is used to guide the horse while being riden. Quote

No fiador. Bosals come in varying diameters and weights, allowing a more skilled horse to "graduate" into ever lighter equipment. Once a young horse is solidly trained with a bosal, a bit is added and the horse is gradually shifted from the hackamore to a bit. I hope that helps you understand the bosal a bit better, how ever, i know a lot of people over here that are wanting to use a bosal instead of a bit. Cheers Bevan Quote
