The beautiful handcrafted 3/4 inch, 18 plait rawhide bosal and horse mane hair mecate that Drifty sports in this photo, the one I ordered from Hamley's of Pendleton, arrived late yesterday. Both pieces were made in America by master craftsmen and together they make a hackamore. Unlike the bridle, the hackamore is bitless, relying on sensitive pressure points on the horses muzzle and poll.
Drifty's New Hackamore Works!
This afternoon, Lorenzo worked Drifty down in her snaffle bit and then rode her in her new hackamore. As you can see from Lorenzo's expression, the mare was exceptionally responsive. So much so that she even moved off the light pressure exerted by the mecate mane hairs.
