My mother-in-law wants a bitless side pull for Christmas, so I’m looking for some construction and material pointers.  I have a side pull in the barn that has a snaffle bit in it so I should be able to copy most of it from that, however I don’t know how to tie the knots for the rope nose band.  She found one from Weaver that has a double rope nose band that she likes.  I don’t know if you make that from a single rope or two pieces?  My current plan is to build it out of heavy harness leather in 5/8” straps with a 1/2” throat latch and use 2” o-rings for hardware.  If any one has some advice or tips I would appreciate the help.
