So thinking I might need to upgrade to a lightly stronger bit for my 14.2 connie as hes getting strong jumping with his sharer and she just needs a lttle help in betweeen fences. Hes fine in his loose ring snaffle for everything else, but just runs through it when jumping. My issue is he tends to lean and get overbent rather than chuck his head in the air so i dont want to encourage this with the likes of a dutch gags, also if hes over bitted the canter will go out the window. I've ridden him in a pelahm for showing and didnt like it though it was a mullen mouth, so I think he needs the joint. I was considering a kimblewick as it is slightly sharper but has less curb action than the likes of a pelham or dutch gag. The other option is a wilkie though I think this may encourage too much roundness.
