The vosal is supposed to work just like the bosal by pulling on the face
but the vosal is jointed in the middle of each side and will apply more
pressure to the jaw bones than a bosal. The vosal is also metal on the
bottom parts without the large knot under the jaw. I tried it thinking
that it could be left on all day during an endurance ride and I would not
need a halter but the metal parts made it very dangerous for standard
halter use. Since I would still need to remove it and need a halter there
was no point in retraining my horse (had no whoa) to use a vosal since he
goes just fine in a grazing bit. That was 5-6 years ago and the darn
thing has dissolved somewhere in my tack shed or I would give it to you.
