Another bit Q ........Strong horse in dressage.........

[Heidi1]

Looking for a bit that I can use for dressage on a rather strong TB, she is fine until we have the first canter and then gets really strong, I currently school and SJ in a Hanging Cheek with a revolver in the middle and a Mexican noseband... Any help would do thank you. Oh this horse is 16 and has had teeth and back check and all is ok, she is just hot headed...... Thankies..xx

Maybe one of the myler hanging cheek comfort snaffles, has the barrel in the middle and is dressage legal?

Must admit she goes nice in Millies Myler, but again once have had a canter she is so so strong, but think I might give it a go..........

My horse was really leaning on his KK training bit. Dressage instructor said to change it to a normal bradoon with a thinnish mouthpiece. This is what he now works in and he is far less strong.We too, have had problems where he anticipates canter after the first canter in the test.

What noseband do you use for dressage? - A crank flash might help.

 

[Heidi1]

I have used a normal flash and a Mexican (BE), so might be worth giving crank flash ago.......

That might be worth a try with this mare......Thanks...
