: Just got satelite TV and was watching the horse channel. Some guy on there was working colts and rank horses with a thin bosal type hackamore, I think it was called the "Novel Nose Band". Looked like some kind of wrapped steel bosal that fits very loosely high up on the nose and you give correction by quick tugs/jerks. He claimed that it worked wonders when clipping and shoeing cranky horses. Just wondering if any one else has heard or tried this contraption. Ann
Ann,
Haven't a clue. But any jerks on the head of the horse I myself do not think is correct.
I leave the training to the owners and trainers unless getting paid for it.
As in my post the other day, I talk with the young lady last night and truned her horse down because they were not schooled in standing for the farrier. The risk is not worth it. I just wished I had learn that 20 years sooner.
Just my thinking.
