I have hunted my pony for the last two and half seasons and really enjoyed it, he's a Connemara that I used to event on. He is the perfect gentleman standing still/good manners etc and will jump anything, the only problem is when cantering/galloping out hunting he is super fast and turns into a giraffe with his head in the air and lacks breaks, this is only a problem as I have problems staying behind the field master. I currently ride him in a straight bar fixed snaffle, but I need more control, the only thing is he's just awkward to slow down rather than a strong tank and so don't won't to overbit. Any suggestions?
