im thinking about trying out a new bit but not sure what to go for.
i have a 6yr old TBX who is very green (which makes me want to stick with his eggbut snaffle) however, we hack out with a 16.1 x racer whos stride is enormous so im always pushing to keep up, so when we dont go out with him i cant stop...
went out with our cob the other day and decided to have a steady trot, but he pulled and pulled i was half halting and he would just flig him head in the air, if he did slow down i gave him a little more rein to try and get him to relax but he just speeded up.
he has a very soft mouth but being green when he tries to work in an outline he over bends and leans on the bit twisting his head sideways and opening his mouth.
physio has advised i stick to it for a while and if he improves in the school but not out on a hack to consider trying another bit....
not sure what to do...
