Is the one?  http://www.canadiantack.com/pics/sidepull.jpg  Does it pull up 
into the 
horse's eyes?


I've leaned towards getting the ones with the jowl strap (not the throatlatch), 
like this 
one:

beta and 
biothane, and will customize them, and hers are very reasonably priced.  She 
made the one 
I use for Tivar that has the turquoise stones in the overlay.  (There's a layer 
of beta 
underneath, so the rivets don't touch the horse.)    I also have several of her 
Freedom 
Bridles, which can be used as a bridle, sidepull, cross-over bitless bridle (I 
took the 
cross-over straps off), and a halter.   The Freedom Bridle is the main bridle 
we use.
