When I've ridden Santana bridleless at the RW, he puts his head just below the level neck. That seems to be where he is comfortable gaiting. This is the main reason I don't like the Dr. Cooks bitless bridle--I like to just barely keep contact w/ his head, so that he can put his head where he is comfortable, and do his nodding thing w/o me getting in his way. And the Dr. Cooks rein ends are too weighty to allow this to happen w/o the reins flapping all around. Robyn S
