Bosal help?
I started my two year old in a snaffle and plan on showing in a bosal. But I have a ton of questions, because I've never used one before.
How do I buy the right size and make sure it fits right? Can you use a regular headstall used for a snaffle, like a show bridle for a bosal? How thick should it be?
Does anyone know any sites that show how to tie the macate reins on? Or show diagrams of where exactly they should go.
I know how the bosal works, like the pressure points and everything, I just don't know anything else aha.
Thanks a ton.
Please no telling me I shouldn't use a bosal, I'm going to use one anyone.
I've learned alot about how they work and when I should start using one I just need to know the fitting stuff.
Thanks.
Check with the rule book for your breed association as to what types of bosals are allowed for showing. Most bosals are kind of a one-size-fits-all type thing, but the actual width of the bosal is a little different (I think 5/8" is pretty standard), so thats what you wan to check with. For the headstalls, sometimes you can get something that works for both a bit and a bosal, but the bosal hangers typically have a wider loop on the end before the screw so that it can fit around the bosal correctly.
If your horse has never been ridden in a bosal, don't expect them to just "take to it" right away, I've had some horses that absolutely hated them, and others that only took a week or two before they rode really nice in one. I agree that they look way prettier on the rail then a snaffle bit (and you can cheat a little easier for checking your horse with the bosal than a snaffle) so I understand you wanting to show in one.
I really like the stuff on www.sstack.com and www.pards.com and they have some good deals on hangers also. Chavez makes some great ones that double as regular headstalls/hangers as well (like their tear-drop style ones). If your horse bobs his head at all, try to get one that blends into his color (black one for a bay, etc) instead of going with a contrasting color.
Here's a link for tying the mecate:

If you want something with a little more "bite" for training your horse at home, you can always go with one of the aluminum ones for training and softening them up, and then the rawhide covered ones for show.
Good luck!
oh, I checked pards site, and they don't have nearly as much as they have in store....call and ask for a catalog if you want all their bosals and mecates, they have a great selection.
