This very unique bosal is called an “Indian Hackamore”. It is gentler than a bosal. Indian Hackamores have less control than a traditional bosal.  The traditional bosal works by putting more pressure on the bridge of the nose where the bone becomes cartilage,  is more rigid and heavier which gives more distinct communication.  The nose is flat instead of round. The chin portion widens and narrows to fit most any size head. The action is most like riding with a halter but with more communication and control. The ends that connect to the reins are crossed so when you pull on say the right rein the pressure goes under the jaw and around to the opposite side to bring their head around to the right. There is a breaking in period for the area under the chin to soften up and shape to your horses head.  Vaquero Rawhide Cream is very helpful in speeding up this process.
