The horse was forced to hold his head at an unaturally high level putting strain on the entire topline* of the animal.

What is a cheek strap?
if you are referring to horses, it is not called a "cheek strap". It is called a "cheek piece". A cheek piece is part of the bridle. When on a horse, it is along the side of a horses face, basically where the horses cheek is (from the ears to the muzzle). It is joined to the Bit (in the horses mouth) and the head piece which is the part of the bridle that is at the top of the horses head, by the poll (behind its ears). I hope this was helpful information.
What kind of thing can you use to force your horses head higher?
If you are riding a horse and you want to force its head higher, that would be done with the reins. Holding the reins tightly or high up on the horses neck is considered poor horsemanship and can get you kicked out of a competition quickly. Each horse carries it's neck and head according to it's build,this can be modified through training, or you could just buy a horse with a higher neck/head set. Remember though that not allowing a horse to use it's head and forcing it to stay up can cause a multitude of health and attitude problems later on.
