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.
