I am glad that i found this Chanel. You might not believe it, but i have held that very shaping jig. Glad to see it working. Definitely a fan of the old school traditions. And a "hats off" for your horse. Great job he did there.
Hi John, I just purchased one of these amazing shapers for my new bosal. I noticed that your adjustment is a little lower than mine. I actually have it as high as it will go. I'm guessing that your bosal might be a little bit shorter than mine. Everything is tight, and it immediately started taking the correct shape. I thank you so very much for the recommendation.
Thank you for sharing your video and tutorial. I've never ridden with a hackamore so this is very interesting. Can you please share why you choose to ride with one as opposed to a bit? At 71 I still enjoy learning even though I don't ride at this time.
The hackamore is a transitional training aid that is used to step a horse into a bit in the California bridle horse tradition and it also challenges you as a trainer to perfect your technique as any weaknesses in your training regimen will show up. I ride primarily for the tradition and the challenge of seeking refinement while staying out of the mouth of the horse.
I have a bosal for my gelding that was fitted I thought to him. I now know I have to go back and revisit that fit! Thanks for the great info!

Ty for the kind words. He and our other gelding are going to be getting a lot of camera time for sure.
That was very helpful. Thank you.
This is a great video
