Hi all

Looking for some recommendations....

My boys in a sweet Iron Full Cheek Snaffle with Lozenge

He's always played around with bits which is why we have the full cheek so we have less movement in the mouthpiece

He likes to evade the pressure - he's abit a a nappy type

He's latest nap is to try and avoid the bit by trying to grab it it, bite it, he likes to try and pull you out the saddle a little. Sometimes he can be difficult to except poll pressure.

I was just looking for suggestions on a different bit to try. I obviously don't want to come away from a snaffle but want to stop him avading.

He's checked and fine all over please don't diagnose him to be in pain etc trust I know his character and that he's just a nappy lazy ex racer.

Any suggestions please 🙏🏻 and thank you

Would a loose ring rubber mouthpiece be too thick for him? It would be a bit softer but there would be a bit less movement? Failing that is it worth trying a bitless bridle? My lad likes the micklem multi bridle and we are working sometimes in that. You have to kind of teach them the new way but quite a few do suit it.
