Hi - my horse leans badly on the right and tries to stick her nose to the left. I currently ride in a kk ultra sensogan 16mm bit. She is also head shaking but does have seasonal allergies. I have ordered on trial a couple of different bits - 1) Neue Schule turtle top, 2) Myler comfort snaffle and 3) Neue Schule verbindend 16mm.
Has anyone had any experience of these bits?
 
Mine is the same but opposite sides. I just ride her in a hanging cheek lozenge and have my instructor (who is also qualified in sports massage and therapy on oeople and horses) give her a massage every couple of months and we do strengthening exercises such as flexing both sides in straight line and on circles, that sort of thing. Now we don't have any real issue :) I didn't try any of the bits you have mentioned, so can't help with that x
 
Thanks redders - she has a sports massage every 4 weeks and chiro every 3 months (both within the last 2 weeks) teeth and tack are all good too. I've had her in a fixed eggbut before and she was worse in that. I'll keep working in our lateral exercises
