First off, great video and excellent point about the crupper vs breeching debate. Question on the floating bars... with the D-rings on the bottom and the bars being able to pivot in the center, does it create pressure (hot spots) on the bottom edge of the bars as the cinch is tightened? I'm imagining a scissor effect with the bottom of the bar rotating inward and pulling the top of the bar away from the animals back... observations? Really like the idea of synthetic bars they honestly look like they would be quite comfortable for the animal.
