Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bosal suitable for starting young colts?
A: This 1/4" pencil bosal is a refinement tool intended for horses that have already progressed through thicker hackamores; for starting green colts, we recommend a larger diameter bosal to provide a more obvious signal.

Q: How do I get the best fit for my horse's nose?
A: Natural rawhide has excellent memory; we recommend using a wooden bosal shaper or a similar cylindrical object to custom-shape the bosal to your horse’s specific profile for optimal contact and release.
