Don't know, but it looks really pacey. This video brings me back to my original question. When a horse is ridden in such a frame as depicted in this video where the underside of the neck is bulging out....does that frame and the muscles involved in that tension, somehow force the mouth open? I'm really curious as to why nosebands would be so tight unless the sole purpose of them is to highten the anxiety of the horse during competition (I know I would worry if I couldn't breathe)...and force the horse to look more "firey". Thoughts? ...I'm in the process of learning how to ask Gusti come into the bit without ventroflexing. I guess it makes a huge difference in the type of trainer you have and what that trainers sees and attempts to correct. Wanda
