The narrator's 180 degrees off. The git down rope is not used on "the younger horses" and John, I'm sure knows that. Younger horses are in snaffles, hackamores or the 2-Rein. These all use mecates with an integral lead line.
The bosalito and git down are used on bridle horses. You don't lead a finished bridle horse around by the reins like they do in the movies. Tugging on a spade or half breed would spoil your horse's mouth. Besides vaquero style would use braided reins.
@rlaycock So right you are. Your comments and interest are appreciated. The narrator is a long time horseman and cutter but is not as familar with the Vaquero history... As I am still learning daily from all the wonderful horseman and women I have connected with on the world wide web...
You need to have the young lady leave that horse alone.........stop giving him treats.........as long as anyone does that, the horse will not behave/stand still. He is so busy moving and being mouthy. Make the right thing easy, the wrong thing hard.
Narrator sounds like a real horseman.
The young lady will be a better horseperson once she learns to keep her darn hand away from that colts mouth. Spoils the hell out of them.
If a young horse cannot lead lightly and you fear they pull back in fear, their not ready to be out in the range anyhow. Your gonna have a wreck.

Though the horse is mouthy from too many treats, the information in your video is great. Thank you.
