<font color="green"> </font> My 6 Yr Old Cob Is Getting To Strong And Stubborn For Me. Shes In A Dutch Gag ATM But Doesnt Take Much Notice Of It . When She Doesnt Want To Do Something She Has To Be Whipped And Alot Of Leg Used. Ive Bought Spurs For Her But Im Not Sure Shes Going To Take Much Notice. When She Wants To She Can Be The Perfect S/J and XC horse but im afraid to take her out from where i locally ride incase she bombs off and i cant stop. Please Help ?

We have a strong cob and the stronger the bit and the more we pull the faster he goes, so we have learnt not to pull no matter what, and if he goes we just let him - he slows down after a few strides.

When we bought him he came in a pelham for schooling in manage! I put him straight on a french link and he now schools and hacks in a snaffle.

Have you done much schooling with her. It does make a difference and may reduce the need for whipping so much.

from the sounds of it i wouldnt take much notice of you if you kept whipping me!

would some lessons maybe help?
 
I agree that lessons from a good instructor may help. Otherwise the cob will be dead to the leg and in the mouth before long. My strong horses are all in snaffles of various types, have found a grakle good for one that crosses her jaw when she pulls - has worked wonders without using a strong bit or rough riding!
