I know nothing about driving so forgive if the question is numpty
I saw a two wheeled cart thing with a young chap in it, being drawn by a nice coloured cob (I leave you to fill in the description of both horsey and man
). The horse was bowling along the road at a spanking trot with his head so high that his nose was practically pointing at the sky; and when I looked, I could see a red leather strap from his noseband (think) up over his poll and attached to the harness, keeping his head up forcibly
I was reminded of the 'bearing rein' in Black Beauty.
I wondered if there was any merit in keeping the horse's head up in this way, and if it was harmful. The poor horse looked quite wild, and not at all comfortable
