Any advice welcome. I ride my warmblood in a waterford at home and in a straight rubber pelham at shows. There is a certain show i go to with the same ride judge who rides with their hands very low and quite fixed compared to mine. my boy goes great for me in the pelham but hes goes very overbent for the ride judge.I really need to find something that he will go well in for me and hopefully wont encourage him to overbend for someone else. any ideas please........and yes i do need to keep going to these shows in order to try and qualify. thanks

I take it you've tried loosening the curb chain for the ride judge?
I used to have a loan pony that could cart me in a vulcanite Pelham with his head rammed somewhere between his knees or tucked into his chest so I sympathise
Have you tried a Waterford with Pelham cheeks - goes against the grain given the collapsing mouthpiece to have the curb action but it might work for you.
How does the ride judge ride if using a double - any better? Would that be an option as at least they may choose to ride purely on the bradoon. Of course if they ride off the curb then this isn't a route I'd go down.

Yes I had the curb on last hook each side. I've got a Waterford Pelham, tried it once and didn't really like it but probably didn't give it a fair go.
