Just finished a bosalito and a 3/8" bosal for some folks. The bosalito pencil_bosal_shaped.jpgis already shaped a little and has horse rawhide for the interweavesbosalito_noseband_horse_interweave.jpg. The 3/8" bosal 3_8___bosal.jpghas an Argentine knot called a "left hand" ring knotleft_hand_ring_knot.jpg that is an enlarged casa and an interweave to make that size of a knot. It's a tricky knot to tie. Someday I'll try and post a tutorial on it.

Alan,

Bosalito? That's a new word to me. I assume "small bosal" but is there an official definition? Thanks in advance for the information.

Nice looking work Alan. How many years have you been braiding?

Have a good one,

Hey Denise, you're correct, it means small bosal. Some folks call them a "pencil bosal" because the diameter of the cheeks is 1/4" the same as a pencil. They are used under the bridle of a horse finished in the classical Vaquero tradition sort of as a reminder of the earlier lessons hence the third name "under bridle bosal". The fellow that ordered the 3/8" bosal also wants to use his under the bridle so I guess it is an "under bridle bosal" but not a "pencil bosal"??!!?

Hey Rob, if I had to guess I'd say about 12 yrs. Started with the Woolery and Grant and Hought books when I found I couldn't find nor afford what I found the type and quality of gear I wanted. You should look into the TCAA scholarship if you haven't already.
