Our bosals or hackamores are made from the
finest quality rawhide and leather. We pride ourselves in never
cutting corners in any area of design or workmanship. We use
three basic descriptions to describe these bosals/hackamores:
working, fancy and collector sets.
A working bosal or hackamore has larger strings
in the nose button and heel knot which takes less time to braid,
therefore they are less expensive. The inner core and groundwork
are the same as other bosals. While I instruct a braiding student
as he/she makes a bosal, I braid one at the same time to demonstrate
each step so I do not need to pick up or interrupt the students
work. Therefore, I can offer these bosals for sale. I typically
make them in 5/8" diameter solid latigo or 1/2" diameter
solid roo. Added is a nice simple headstall with a mane hair
mecate. The details for each set are on the individual web pages.
Fancy sets are used in the show arena, used
daily, and many times end up on the wall in the living room.
The fancy bosal sets I offer are again bosals I have braided
while with students. More advanced students often choose to make
these bosals which gives them an opportunity to add color in
a balanced pattern and teaches skills necessary to make a pattern
smooth and more. |
