Thanks Robin, I always call it a double bridle even though I know
better!

It was a weird choice, and yes Eloise is using the upper rein....and
its working very well, he is happy and relaxed and forward with a
great stop from using the knee pressure, not the bit.  I get to ride
him next week for my first time.  I am excited.  He actually is a
gelding that came form Brunos lines.....speaking of Bruno.
