Bit Advice ?

[Horseback Rider]

My 9 yr old TB is starting to go better amd is listening to my leg more. The only trouble is when hacking out I can't get him round at all. In the school after a bit of working in he goes into a lovely outline and you can tell he is really trying hard.

Whe I hack him out I just can't achieve anything near this and he just goes along head in the air. He is a safe ride and never tanks off so I don't want to necessarily put him a stronger bit ( he is in a bog standard snaffle with running martingale ) but I am wondering if there is anything I can use to stopp him leaning and lolloping about ???

I find horses lean on the normal eggbutt snaffles, could you try a loose ring snaffle or french link snaffle?

Neue Schule Universal - brilliant bit, has helped me bring my boy down onto the bit during hacking and schooling.
