When rein pressure is applied the chinstrap becomes snug but does not over-tighten due to the type of webbing used. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 20.8px;\">90% of the pressure is on top of the nose, and the horse can self-release the chinstrap easily for eating, yawning, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 20.8px;\">The bridle can also be used as a\u00a0side pull by clipping the chinstrap and noseband rings together (recommended to start with if your horse hasn&#8217;t experienced a chinstrap before).\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 20.8px;\">Learn
