Thanks MuddyMonster! Is it the map my hike gps hiking app?

Does anyone use a GPS or tracking app, which is best? We ride on estate land (by permission) but a lot of the tracks are not marked on maps. Want to be able to pin point where the trailer is parked and be able to find my way back if we get sidetracked, without having to carry paper maps!

Hoof_prints I have rope cheeks also, can try those too. Why do you think there is such a difference between them and leather cheeks?

I'm worried a Pelham would make him put his chin to chest more, he ducks his head to the right of his chest in walk and sometimes trot, trying to catch the bit I'm assuming. We are doing more hacking now than we have in the past and he is finding his confidence, and pushing boundaries...

I'm in a similar situation to you carolineb, my 15.1 coloured gelding sets his neck against me out hacking. Already using a Nelson gag with a roller lozenge, which does help but he really leans down into it. Thinking about trying a Waterford Nelson, however do not want to spend a fortune on a NS...
