Kaitlyn I’ve been driving for 25 years and never ever used either kind, you don’t need them and are better off without them. Your horse will thank you.

So if you buy a bridle WITHOUT either of them it will still work? (Like steering and stuff) Also I wouldn’t want to get the over check. If anything it would be the Side check. I am still a bit confused though. Do you have to have either of them? Or can you go without a side check or over check? Thanks please answer! 🙂

Excellent article Muffy. So many people just attach the overcheck or side check because it came with their harness.

i live where Amish and other horse-and-buggy people drive by quite often! it looks ssoooo cruel when the come by and the horse’s nose it up in the air! don’t they understand that it’s like ‘harder’ to pull with the over check so tight?? some people i just don’t understand :~(
