It is best for studs, showing producers, grooms and owners who handle stallions, colts or strong, forward-going horses on the yard, at shows and in the breeding season.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the design is fixed rather than sliding, contact is spread across the nose and cheek sections and stays consistent, which many handlers prefer to a single-point lead attachment. The central D-ring accepts a lead rope, chain or in-hand line.
