He seems to use the excuse of spooking at stuff to try and get to canter or gallop off. When he is trying to get his tongue over the bit he is head and neck are right down. When he's trying to get a hold of the bit he is just the opposite.....head right up, dancing around.....he even went up on...
My horse is very strong and when I hack out he plays up big time. He tries to get a hold of the bit, he also tries to get his tongue over the bit - someone suggested a cherry roller. I don't want anything to harsh but that will help give me back some control when we are out. He is generally fine...
