Absolutely! Wouldn't that be grand. . . It was just interesting to me, that in this particular picture, you could see that little gap under the ring even though the dent in the horse's nose was so obvious. In some circles, that little gap would be used as "evidence" that indeed, that noseband was "properly adjusted" because it might be possible to squeeze two fingers beneath it. -- Renee M. in Michigan
