Hi and which bit?

[JustHarry]

Hi I've been a lurker for a while and love reading the advice that everyone receives and wondered if you could help me too?

I have been bringing on my little cob for around a year now and getting some fab results however he is getting fitter and sharper which is want I want but is a little electric out hacking nothing I can't deal with but he's too strong for his single jointed full cheek snaffle of which I'm not sure he 100% likes anyway. His schooling is really coming on and can stop him using my seat alone however he finds it all too exciting out hacking. So could some of you lovely people please suggest some bits that I could try please. Thank you!

Hello , welcome to the posting side of the forum!

I can think of a few stronger bits but would like to know a bit more about him getting stronger when he gets excited out hacking does he stick his head down or up at all? why do you think he is unhappy in his current bit? does he lean on the bit? have you tried him in any other bits (cheekpiece or mouthpiece style) at any time? got to rush off now but will check thread later! I probably missed something important

Hey sorry I should of written all of that yes he does stick his head up a lot and he does lean on it from time to time. He never mouths at the bit and never really foams up in the mouth which makes me think he'd like a warmer metal although have tried a copper eggbutt snaffle but nothing else hope this helps. He has a small mouth only a 4.5 and quite a big tounge too.
