Having problems with message search?
I think back when I got my first DCBB they suggested use of a running martingale if one was felt to be needed. Don't know if they still do or not but you might check the web site. The standing could only attach to the noseband and I would think would affect the way the bridle worked on the horse in more than the way you would like, i.e. keeping the head down. Just my thoughts though. I did originally try using a running martingale on my horse but found I did not need it.

I just purchased a Dr. Cook's BB to try with my mare and our new
pony. I haven't been on the new pony yet but he was ridden in a
hackamore with a tie down when I went to meet him - wondering if I can
use a standing martingale if needed with the BB? Will try without
first but he does like to fling his head around quite a bit in the
field...
Just had a baby so haven't been able to ride for some time; can't wait
to get back in the saddle, just need to find someone to keep an eye on
me the first time with the new bridle! :) I will just have to
convince hubby that he can dial 911 if needed!
