Shaping a Hackamore 

Excellent Video Bret 🎉

Good video for sure...l get what you're saying. Some years ago l took a 1 3/4" thick cedar plank and cut it to the shape of my horses' nose and jaw line. I rasped it a bit to boot. The cut out now fits the inside of the bosal pretty snug like to reconfigure the rawhide braiding. The idea was to take the stiffness out of the bosal where it doesn't conform to their face's natural contour. When I'm not using the bosal l put the cedar plank back in place like a hat jack and let it hang on the wall, that way it retains a useable shape every time.

I don't use one, but I'd always thought the shape didn't look right. Thanks for clearing that up, good explanation.

Looks like I need to send you a good Nz wool jersey for that snow weather you have there! Thanks for the demo

Hey Bret, where in Texas are yall goin? Are yall hiring hands out there?

Man, I was afraid you were going to smear some horse hoof concoction on it for a second. Whew!

Hello from Australia. Have you heard of the saying "Texas Method" when it comes to horse breaking. Basically just stick a grazer bit in their mouth day one. If "Texas Method" means something else could you please tell me. I don't want to arrive in America and accidently insult anyone. Thanks in advance Cheers Peter
