Parrot mouths and bitting?

[bellaboo]

Does your horse have parrot mouth? if so what bit do you use?

My horse has an extreme parrot mouth and i just can't find a bit she is happy with, she also has a big, fleshy tongue and low palate, not good mouth conformation at all!
I have tried many bits and know she likes a loose ring, preferably with a double joint and a warmer metal helps her to mouth the bit, i just can't find a mouth piece to suit.
Any idea's to what i can try? She has also recently started grinding her teeth on the bit which i know is a sign of tension and i have been asking a bit more of her but nothing she isn't easily capable of, i'm just worried this teeth grinding will stay as a really annoying habit. Her teeth are done regularly and are up to date, so any idea's?

I use a snaffle for mine, have you considered going bitless?

Had my first experience of bitless today (see post above this) I was sceptical but was seriously impressed

After posting this i found out my old horses hackamore and thought it's worth a try! She was sooo much happier, felt lovely so i defineatly think bitless is the best way forward for her, only downfall is dressage could be abit tricky as bitless is not permitted

but at least she will be happy

PM Draco_Celebratus as I'm sure last year they posted re biting a parrot mouth pony, might be worth checking what they settled on.
