I have a very forward going strong welsh d x. He can lean heavily on your hands, which being of a slight build is very difficult to control. When jumping he tends to launch over in the last stride, grabs the bit then tanks off. Have changed his bit a few times, started in an English snaffle, then with a flash, then loose ring happy mouth mullen mouth snaffle, a kimblewick (he didn't like the curb chain), magic bit with drop noseband and now finally a twisted snaffle with the drop. Any ideas on suitable bits or someone even suggested bitless?? So confused!! Lol
 
have you tried going back to basics over little fences and getting your control back in trot first then canter? Maybe you have done all that control and discipline stuff already
A waterford can help if they grab the bit as they can't really grab it
But maybe get a few lessons with someone to watch to check that it couldn't be fixed another way? Sometimes the input of someone watching is invaluable...
