My horse is prone to rearing if you ask her for an outline, or rein back. She is in a single jointed rubbery snaffle. She is sensitive in her mouth, but has a tiny mouth, so a thick straight bar would not be suitable (already tried). Do you suggest i try and french link?

Anyone got any suggestions, and sorry this should be in the stable yard, but thought i'd get more response in here.

try lozenge mouth piece

maybe a sweet iron french link would be worth a try

Mine is the same in a single jointed snaffle. Try a french link or something similar with a lozenge in. Some horses object to the nutcracker action of a single joint - when they do as you ask and go in an outline, the joint can bang on the roof of the mouth.

My horse won't go forwards at all in a single joint.
