Bosals and Bosalitos
We make bosals and bosalitos out of cowhide, bullhide, kangaroo leather and cowhide leather. We do not make our own leather, but we do make our own rawhide.
Our hides are sourced from Mahia, Mahanga, and Lake Waikaremoana, and are cured and prepared by us.
We make sure to only use the best quality rawhide and leather. We make a variety of rawhide products including bosals, bosalitos, and underbridles.
The bosals are made with a variety of cores:
twisted rawhide (one or two layers),
sewn rawhide,
6 plait braid
4 plait braid
rawhide string
We make single or double pencil bosalitos and under bridles. Center hung or side hung.
The number of strings used for the body of the bosal ranges from 4 up to 16 strings; most commonly. The nose buttons are made at 7" when laid straight.
We custom make to specifications and will, at times, have stock here on this page available to purchase.
We do make a range of bosals out of heavy woollen mecate rope, lariat rope and horse hair rope. The lariat rope bosals can be double or single layered. These bosals come with or without a braided nose button.
***Soon to market will be a range of woollen bosals with a twisted rawhide core and braided nose button ****
