So I bought my big guy last month he’s a 17hh ID. He was originally on a snaffle ridden by a 6.2ft guy I’m only 5’3. Recently started grabbing the bit, crossing his jaw and just unable to bring him back at all in the school. I changed him onto a copper roller with a grackle. He responds a bit better but I still feel he’s leaning and a bit stronge for me and because his size it’s in his favour. Was out hacking him and when in canter with other horses he’s not responding at all until the other horse stops, even holding him back is a struggle. He has quite a high head carriage. I’m wondering if anyone can help suggest a bit? I have been researching a lot and was wondering if a Waterford gag would help but some people say they’re harsh in the wrong hands? My old horse had a very sensitive month so I know I’m not too harsh on the mouth.
