I'm looking to try a headset/bonnet/brainchain and want to look at options. I really don't want to use the actual chain ones. I've seen a leather one by Sharon Camarillo but I think I've seen at a barrel race one that is rope that doesn't actually put the pressure on the forehead only the top of the head. I'm open to all options or what you think works best for your high headed horses.
eta: My horse does not put it's nose up only brings the neck up high and is not a flexible in a tie down. Looking to do a headset to give the horse balance as it brings its head up around the barrels.

I make the nylon bonnets, leather bonnets, leather over the brow and nylon over the poll and they have buckle adjustments, twisted wire bonnets. I also have the cable combination tie down that goes over the ear and has a nosepiece. Shallow Creek Bits bonnets fit great.
Chicks Saddelry carries one just like this its a combo. But I have found the Camarillo Leather that sets just abouve their eye sockets and over the poll to be the very best for my horse.
