LEGENDARY HORSE Legendary vaquero & writer Arnold Rojas wrote of the cow horse, "If a horse had a good mouth, a vaquero did not care what colour it was or if it only had three legs" A good mouth was the vaquero's pride." That good horse's mouth guided by the good hands of a time tested horseman, would eventually carry the spade bit. To learn this skill, a horse must work well in the hackamore ---- a system of training used throughout the Southwest extensively from 1785 until 1915. This method became an artform, an art form that required an investment of time & patience.
Renowned horse trainer and NRCHA Hall of Fame member Bobby Ingersoll's new book, The Legendary California Hackamore & Stock Horse, gives us a look into the history of the California Stock Horse and Hackamore style training. This patient way of working with horses has given Ingersoll, a time tested horseman himself, wins in hackamore classes for almost 40 years. In this informative over sized volume -- gorgeously photographed and produced by David Stoecklein -- Ingersoll takes us into the old world of the hackamore complete with horse training tips and advice, numerous drawings and diagrams, and images of many great horseman and their famous hackamore horses. This book is a must for every student of fine horsemanship.
