Looking for a bit for my horse to try
He was broken in a happy mouth with other owner so found it really hard to get him used to a normal bit, he has been schooled in a normal jointed snaffle but backed off a bit on this bit and didnt like the pinching action on the tongue, he is very light in the mouth, have tried a wilkie and he was good in this bit had better contact, however didn't like the pinching again as was a normal jointed bit, also judges aren't a fan on the wilkie, he's been in a French link eggbutt with the lozenge in middle for no pinching and found he was a bit strong and could easily evade. He's been in a neue schule snaffle with lozenge for over a year now and this has been great, however more recently because in a lot of work, I've noticed he can evade the contact recently with the bit, when in canter can occasionally be above contact or pull/lean on the bit. I think he's just got used to this bit and needs changing, he's really light and soft in the mouth as he is only 6 and acts like a baby. Any suggestions for me to try? For the shows
