Jerry Beagley Braiding Co., Inc Bosal

Yes, this set is designed specifically for training and groundwork. The rawhide construction provides the necessary stiffness for clear communication, making it an appropriate choice for horses learning to respond to neck reining and subtle cues.

Rawhide is durable but sensitive to moisture. While it is built for regular use in the arena or on the trail, you should avoid leaving it out in the rain or storing it in damp areas to prevent the material from softening or losing its shape.

The included cotton reins are designed to offer a balanced feel, but they do not feature the heavy weighted ends found on some performance reins. They are intended to provide a lightweight, tactile connection between your hands and the horse.

You should avoid using heavy oils or conditioners on rawhide, as they can soften the material too much and compromise its structural integrity. Simply wipe the bosal clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove sweat and dirt.

While it is an excellent tool for training and groundwork, it is perfectly suitable for daily riding if your horse is comfortable working in a bosal. It is a versatile piece of equipment for riders focused on western horsemanship.
