Jeff Sanders Fitting gear on Gandalf 

These videos are, hands down, the best collection of tutorials/historical/over view for bosal hackamores available on the internet. Thank you! (You had me a ‘Wild Beast’)

I know these are older clips, I just came across them, as I have Jeff's book The California Hackamore Horse, and I did the 100 mile walk course with Steve. I have to say, that the both of you have helped me understand SO much more than I have ever been taught about making a good horse. Thank you so very much. I love that you talk about all the old ways, and the equipment and what it REALLY was used for, and keeping the horse happy mentally and physically .

Great advice.

So much passion and deep knowledge! THANK YOU so much for taking the time to make this video! I subscribed and hope to see more from you!

There can be such a connection between horse and rider that they can work as one in a ranch setting roping, doctoring cattle, etc. without any head gear.

Thank you for this outstanding video

A rope halter with lead line converted to reins gives such precise signals and is so simple to use.

outstanding info..thank you

Where would we be able to purchase the type of set up you are showing? I have a POA and it is hard to find good fitting tack for him. He is in between a quarter horse and a pony. Wonderful video. Thank you.

Interesting concept this hackamore. I wonder why not just use a good English bitless bridal ? It is so much easier to use and it has one big loop as reins. The hackamore has all these ropes hanging from this hackamore that I dont think I could figure out what they are for or how to use them. To each his own of course; I dont think this is my bag - interesting to see this though, so thank you for the nice video.

I need to get Jeff's list!?!?... :)

Never have used a snaffle- except on a plow horse

That is where you lose me..............going to the bridle for the extra refinement. You can get whatever degree of refinement you want with a rope halter. Hells bells, one can get to a point where no head gear is needed when roping and doctoring cattle...............the mutual trust and respect bond is that strong.
