Gypsy has to be lunged from a bridle, he's too strong in a cavasson but I can't find a way of attaching the lunge line with out the bit pulling through his mouth or pulling it about.
I've tried putting it over his head so it clips to the outside ring but this pulls the inside ring right up in his mouth and he looks unfortable. I've tried threading it through under his chin so it clips to the outside again, but this pulls the rings together at the back and puts a lot of pressure on his mouth, I've tried clipping it to the inside ring only but this pulls the bit into his mouth and today I tried a coupling link but that pulled on the outside ring and turned his head slightly to the outside.
So I'm now out of ideas. Any other way I haven't thought of?
ETS: I can use two reins but its not easy at the moment as my leg gives out so I need my other hand/arm to help me balance.
