grackle fitting

[TandD]

i dont intend to use one on my horse! but i need to be clear on how to fit one for an up coming exam.
i have been told of 2 differents ways to fit them by people so i am now slightly confused.

1. 1 or 2 fingers under the cheek bone...at normal cavesson noseband height http://www.horsetrace.com/db/forums/uploads/post-3-1113935609.jpg

2. 2 fingers above cheek bone... like this one http://www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk/Upload/Images/a7ea7ccd-e731-4823-8e1e-9e74ce445c46.jpg

or are they fitted differently depending on their style, either mexican or fixed?

I think the first one is too low. I have always fitted mine like the second one.

Yes they are fitted different dependant on style.

The two styles are fitted differently, the mexican above the cheek bone and the original below. The pictures provided show the correct fittings for each type.
