My sectoin A Welsh prefer the welded traditional Roger rings, as it does keep the lines from moving around those little ears too much, hadn't thought of the problem of lifting cheek pieces. . . .but we've had more clever problems with equipment. Our prefered method for gettin as new tandem going is to trot down the road as much as possible to keep the leader moving on, ring work seemed to give too much chance for drifted back into "assume your pair position" ! ( Of course, very well schooled ponies to begin with.)
One day we were coming home from a hack, stoppped at the up hill stop at the bottom of the hill, saw no traffic coiming, so I told them to walk on. My wheeler started hopping like a mechanical horse, so I said whoa, couldn't see anything, asked my groom if they saw anything. . .no, so we started again, and so did the hopping. Turned out a leader trace had drooped and got behind her armpit, so everytime the leader moved forward, he yanked her legs out in front ! What a good girl to just hop and look indignant !(and Whoa)
