As above.
Can they work together as not keen to change my bridle but horse is throwing her head about.
Started hound exercise which may not have helped but looking for ideas

No, the drop is too low and will affect the bit the other strap will pull on the bit and poll. You would need to fit a cavesson noseband as well, but that's doable, I think.

Why not just go for a running martingale?

Not with a Micklem - the noseband sits too low.

If you really wanted a standing you could put a cavesson on too - but it wouldn’t look pretty ?
