I run mine through the gullet hole too,it just feels good when you pull somethin.Believe it or not,it will keep a horse from boggin his head all the way too,which ive found make a slightly longer,but less hard hitting buck out.
I tried roping without a breast collar (on accident i misplaced mine somehow :shock: ) on some company horses (robert thigpen horses) while ridin yearlins,and all i got was alot of tryin to tighten up,and alot of flanky horses.About the third day i borrowed one and was fine.I dont know whether it was a poor saddle fit,or the horses were used to pullin with a collar,or what?But i know of one older fella who'll rope grown bulls (tied hard and fast mind you) without any collar at all...Im guessin i missed out on the day of cowboy school where they sat around and argued about collars...
