Especially for my cyberfriend NoAngel :)
Have road tested the Indian Bosal bought off e-bay, its like a cross between a normal rope bosal and a x-under bridle ....

Archer goes well in it -he doesnt lean into it the way he can do when feeling lazy in the Dr Cook, I like the x-under action which is only under the chin so no pressure on the facial nerves in the cheeks. It gives more frontal brakes than the Dr Cook and for hacking its fab. Having said that he did p*ss off with me on Thursday :rolleyes: but I would like to point out in defence of the noseband the pony he was racing was in a snaffle and she didnt stop either! Frankly I could have thrown rocks at his head and he wouldnt have stopped:o (methinks this story deserves a thread of its own).
So in all I'm glad i got one its a nice well made piece of kit, Mac who makes them up for you is a pleasure to deal with (he has made a tiny one for Banjo!) and it gives a nice combination of hackamore and x-under action. Nice to have another bitless option.
