!BOZ (John Bozanich)is the New #1 High-Tech Instructor, combining the old and the new techniques of teaching and equipment. It gives him the advantage over all others. In 1981 he traveled to Colorado to attend the Monte Foreman School of Horsemanship where he became a certified instructor. As BOZ progressed in the horse world, his quest for quality equestrian equipment grew. He could not find the equipment to meet his standards, so he began to design and make his own, thus BOZ Saddlery was born. Bozzage balance ride saddles and equipment are designed to get the most out of the horse and rider in the easiest and most humane way possible.
Visit him and his wife Ann at their mountain ranch in the Sequoia Monument, they offer clinics, private training, horse vacations with over 4 million acres available to ride from their place.
www.bozzage.comJune of 2012, Boz was one of the clinicians at the California Horse Expo in Sacramento. He along with some of his long time students thrilled the audience each day in the main arena at the Cal Expo. The Fab 5 under his instruction showed how everyday people (grandparents) accomplish these things on their horses. January/February 2013 Boz will again be a clinician at the California Horse Expo but in Pomona California. He will again have his students showing their stuff. This year there will be 7 students ranging in ages of mid 30's to 70 years old.
March of 1993 , BOZ set the World Record Symposium at the Great Western Livestock Show. BOZ's performance was the first for the equestrian world. Using his own designs, he built all the necessary equipment needed to break the horse:
1. Handtied halter/bridle combo and lead rope
2. Made the shoes and shoed the horse.
3. Made and sewed all 4 custom Boz leg wraps.
4. Made his split reins with sticks and running martingale
5. Made his custom Boz snaffle bit- bent - tig welded & polished
6. Made his custom training spurs - bent - tig welded & polished
7. Built his patented Bozzage spring flex original balance ride saddle - all in 4 hours and 45 minutes.
8. Then went into the round pen to break the horse teaching him in 45 minutes to:
1. Mount & dismount both sides
2. Back 3 times across round pen, no hands
3. Forehand turn right & left
4. Sidepass 3 times left & right.
5. Post trot into left lead
6. Post trot into right lead
7. Figure 8 drop to trot lead changes
8. Stop at walk & trot - no hands
9. Then open the round pen to large arena and did 4 front foot first natural flying changes all in 45 minutes.
But the whole complete show was completed in front of 34,000 people in 5 ½ hours.
It is unmatched by anyone in the horse world. 2 shows were completed, 1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.
Bozzage saddles has the 1st flexible saddle tree, and the only patented flexible saddle tree that gives in every direction. It has the 1st velcro system on the bottom to accept pads that you can change for different horses with different shapes. Others have tried to copy Boz’s idea but Boz was the 1st. Remember Boz’s saying: "Don’t be fooled a wooden tree only fits a wooden horse"
and that’s a proven fact, so if you really do love your horse, STOP and consider that.
