What do you all ride your strong cobs in? Looking for ideas, thanks ?

A running/Cheltenham gag is often good for strong horses that like to run on the forehand/shoulder.

Bugrit! Millennium hand and shrimp.
Ported Kimblewick, for fat tongue.

How much ! how can they justify that price.
Waterford is useful for anything getting on its head and strong. They can't lean on it.

I know they're really expensive! I got mine second hand but barely used for £40 with the runners, which was a good deal.

She wasn't actually a cob but had a big fat tongue in a short mouth, the Westphalian Kaltblut went well in NS Universal with 2 reins. The Clydesdale went well in a PeeWee.

How does he evade the contact when he’s being strong? My Cob X had a tendency to raise his head and tank, so a Mullen mouth Pelham or slotted kimblewick work well for faster/excitable work. My friend’s Section D however leans downwards, heavily on the bit to evade, so she found a Waterford Gag more useful.

He’s currently in a NS universal with two reins. I’d rather have one rein as I want to ride and lead eventually, so tried him today with roundings which he hated and pulled like a train. He was good in a kimblewick but I felt it was a bit much as 99% of the time he’s an angel . I might just stick with the universal and leave the bottom rein knotted on his neck for only when needed. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before really. ?
Thanks everyone ??
