Bitting help

[SnowPhony]

Currently riding Thor in a full cheek snaffle with french link. Was fine to start with first few times I rode him, but the more he gets ridden the stronger he gets. He is fine out hacking with company, but on his own he is very, very keen. I'm not worried he's going to tank off, just after he has had a trot he gets a bit excited and just wants to race around everywhere. I don't think he needs something too much stronger, but today my finger got ripped open from me fighting him.

Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.

not to sure what would help you could try a normal fulmer snaffle with a nutcraker action but with a thin mouth peice that makes it slighlty stronger, a hanging cheek snaffle might stop him from running through you due to the poll pressure or after that i think it would be up into the likes of a dutch gag with double reins or even a pelham if he does get that bad

Maybe try a hanging cheek - a bit of poll pressure may help without getting too fierce....
