Okay so I ride a six year old cob and hes 14.1hh. I ride him for my mum's friend as her daughter recently decided she didn't want to ride him any more after she taught him some bad habbit's. These include things like 'bombing' off when out hacking, refusing to go second in the hack and rearing up etc when you don't let him run off with you. At the moment he's only ridden in a snaffle and I believe he needs something stronger as you have no control over him at all
Recently its become more dangerous, he ran off with me once and didn't stop until we got to the top of the hill no matter how hard I tried, luckily there was no one out walking so it wasn't dangerous for anyone else.
I guess my question is,
what bits would you all recommend? and how do I convince his owner he needs something stronger? as she doesn't listen to me, just says he's too young! she said she would buy a martingale but I know he would snap it hes that strong:/ x
