In this article we’ll focus on the type of hackamore that’s made up of a noseband with nose button (1) that is often called a bosal, a hanger (4) or headstall and a single rein called a mecate (3). Depending on the region where you live, the words bosal and hackamore may be used interchangeably. This type of hackamore was introduced into California and western North America from northern Mexico in the late 1700s. According to horseman, judge and multiple champion Bobby Ingersoll, “The hackamore phase is the most important training a horse will receive in his life; it is during hackamore training that the horse learns to be consistent with balance and feel.”*
