Hackamore Reinsman

by Ed Connell Paperback - 92 pages During the 1800’s and early 1900’s large herds of cattle roamed the mountains and valleys of California. This was a time when vaqueros and buckaroos rode horses every day looking after cattle. The vaquero traditions and techniques were closely guarded secrets that were shared with few people. Ed Connell was one of these men. Ed’s teachers were men who practiced the vaquero traditions and rode top-notch hackamore and bridle horses. Through his books, Hackamore Reinsman and Reinsman of the West, Ed Connell has made a wonderful contribution to the western style of horsemanship. These books provide a snapshot of the California vaquero training style and traditions.
