Starting Colts,
By
This review is from: Starting the Colt (Hardcover)
Mary Twelveponies is a master of the tried and true horse training philosophy: There are no shortcuts. A good start on a young horse can overcome most challenges he'll face later on. Chapter 14 of "Starting the Colt" is devoted to the proper use of the Bosal, or "Jacima." Her research of the origins and applications of the Bosal are top notch. The explanations are clear and easy to understand.
For a horseman who's interested in training with a Hackamore, this book is a must. No matter which discipline of horsemanship you choose, her books are the manual you can trust.
