Clearly these are inspired by, and a tribute to the work of Susan Bensema Young.  I learned how to round braid and make bosals at the age of 29 by reading Susan's book.  If you haven't gotten a copy yet, I highly recommend it.

Bosals are hand braided using artificial rawhide using the six strand braid method.  The Mecate for this bridle is also hand braided using a four strand "round braid" and DMC Embroidery floss.
