Hi Raven, >hi..it's a twitch. used for "calming" horses. it puts pressure on the >upper gums.
It is also a nerve line - the pulley apparatus puts pressure both on the upper lip (lip line and over the poll - nerve line.) Personally I think that the lip line or twitch, when used correctly, is the lesser of two evils than the nerve line because the nerve line causes pain rather than releasing endorphins. .... but I hear what you are saying about standing still to avoid the pain..
