Bit of background - my 5 year old CB is a big strong gobby lad who has shown much improvement since ridden in a dutch gag (would lean and evade requests for a lighter contact in a full cheek french link snaffle). Obviously this isn't dressage legal but I would like to get him out and about this year. I am planning our first intro dressage outing for a few weeks time and at the suggestion of my trainer I think I will just take him HC in the dutch gag for his first time out, but I would obviously like to wean him off this and into a snaffle in the not too distant future so that we can compete propper
Would a hanging cheek be a sensible next step down from the Dutch Gag? if not, please do tell
I guess I could see how he goes with in the dutch gag on the 'snaffle' ring as a guide...
