Looking for tack/bitting advice.
My Connie is an angel 99% of the time but she is prone to bombing off, especially in open spaces. She just sticks her neck out and runs. I typically just sit it out and slow her down when I can but it is annoying and obviously not very fun for anyone hacking with us. I am working on training her out of this and she has got a lot better already. She is fantastic in the school so riding lessons etc are great but don't seem to be helping with this habit outside.
Does anyone have an idea of what could help - a martingale or perhaps a Kimblewick or Waterford? Please no nasty comments ?
