Thank you for your reply :) I have tried schooling and to be honest it's a 45 minute argument for 15 minutes of just about getting it right. He's not a typical cob, he's very sensitive, very nervous and unsure of pretty much everything. I spent all summer working on the concept of circles and...

I think I want to stop the leaning and dragging me round more than I want him in a perfect outline. At least if he's not dragging me, I might actually be able to ride properly instead of adapting!

All checked and nothing was found :)

He's in a full cheek flexi mullen mouth - Not really ideal as he just grabs it! I've tried him in an eggbutt snaffle and he seems to toss his head and pull down sharply in this

He runs away! He's very unbalanced and I think he's always relied on the rider to "hold him up"

I didn't know that they encouraged leaning! If he leans any more i'll have no shoulders left!

I'd happily choose a waterford or something similar, however the bit needs to be "showing/dressage legal" I know that judges don't look in the mouth, but I don't want to take the risk :(

As title really ... He has a high head carriage, is strong, leans on the bit, and likes to snatch the bit and run off!

Sorry no advice - just wanted to say I also have a fleshy tongued po and in a full cheek fulmer, so I'm following to see what other people use

What are your best tips for building/keeping your confidence up?

srooge! Bah humbug! ;) :p

^^^ THIS! ^^^ I completely agree! :)

For me it would be Lorry 1. Simply because if he was maintaining it for his daughter, I should imagine that it is extremely safe!

Sounds absolutely FAB!
