<�DIV><�FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>I probably have seven different 

sidepulls.&nbsp; The one I like best is some old cheap leather thing with a 

rawhide double nose.&nbsp; The newest one I didn't like (from an endurance 

catalog) because they kept getting in my horses' eyes!&nbsp; I finally figured 

out it did not have that extra piece under the jowl..look for one under the chin 

AND under the jowl (NOT the throatlatch) or it will slip side to side and get in 

their eyes!<�/FONT><�/DIV>

<�DIV><�FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>Sidepulls vary in control to nothing 

more than a halter to pretty strong.&nbsp; Taping helps the nosebands, also 

adjust it properly on their nose.&nbsp; But I sure wouldn't get anything less 

than some sort of STIFF noseband, or you'll have about the same amount of 

control as riding in a halter!<�/FONT><�/DIV>
