have u tried working the horse long and low before taking up more of a contact

Your horse needs to be working into the contact from his hind legs so make sure you use your legs. The old adage is "leg before hand".

Keep your reins reasonably short and 'sponge' the rein with your fingers. Lots of transitions to keep your horse listening to you.
