Oh wow......

So guys, you can go ahead and watch this, and I will tell you what I think of it, it may only take a few minutes for you to get the point.

 So just to clear some terms up, a hackamore is a general description for a wide range of bitless bridals. So her experience with bosals is bad, the person in her story is one of those stupid people who don't deserve to own or ride horses. I fully believe in using bosals, no doubt about it, but they like bits, halters, hackamores, saddles, and every other piece of tack must be fitted right, it the horses muzzle was bloody from using a bosal, then...
  1. the person was not very attentive
  2. the person doesn't know about fitting bosals
  3. the person had hard hands 
  4. the horse wasn't ready to be used in the bosal, but the person couldn't see or didn't understand that
  5. the person was to preoccupied to pay enough attention to how the horse was doing during to ride to notice what was even happening
So did you notice that every single one of these things were caused by human error? Also this girl needs to learn more, it makes me sad when people go out yelling at other people for being misinformed, when in fact they are misinformed themselves. There are over 300+ comments on Horse Debate Central on facebook about this, many people (including myself) think that you need to practice what you preach. She is out here telling everybody to go learn the difference, but she didn't even say what the difference was? Why?  The difference is just how they are made, hackamores are a very widely used term, and bosals are essentially the same as "hackamores" but they are thicker, and made out of different material. I use a hackamore, and I fully support using hackamores and bosals and halters, but they all need to be fitted right. When she goes into a rant about "bosals can break even break your horses nose!" so can a halter, so can a hackamore, so can a tie down, but there is a much greater chance of that happening if the person is like the guy in the story and hasn't prepared the horse for riding in a hackamore or bosal or halter. People just need to learn to slow down, and do whats best for the horse, not easiest for them. So what I learned today, is that...
  1. there are to many horse uninformed in this world
  2. people need to be more informed before making a post like that, or they get 300+ comments bashing them on facebook
  3. people like to make a point even if they don't have any proof to stand behind them
  4.  people are lazy when it comes to training their horses, they always just want a quick fix
