We hitched him up to a tire and he pulled that, no problem.

Or do they go a-ROUND his eyes? or through his ears or..... up his nose??? http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=25130Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:00:00 GMTyes, both bits in the mouth. The overcheck straps go through a keeper which should be in the crown of the bridle. You can snap the overcheck strap to the waterhook when you are driving, or snap it back into the bit when you are not.
