I have a six year old 15.2 Connemara, I've had him just over a year and have been battling with him being hollow, tense and resisting contact with the bit, after many trials of different bits I have turned to a loose ring Hippus bit which is fab and we are finally making progress he is now becoming rounder, softer and accepting contact my problem is that while I can hack alone, school, lunge and jump at home in it without any problems if I take him out in company or go out show jumping I have nothing....no control at all. I have put him back in his Neue Schule team up and grackle for these situations but while I have more control he is hollowing out and resisting it most of the time with only moments of connection which says to me he's not as comfortable with it so does anyone have any ideas what bit will give him a similar feel to Hippus but give me more control when I need it.
I have been looking at Myler Low Port Comfort Snaffle with hooks but not sure any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
