i am at my wits end trying to sort a bit out for my horse, i currently have him in a waterford fulmer with a grackle, the grackle is a must as he can cross his jaw and i was using a waterford as he puts his head down and leans on the bit. today when i was riding whilst i was cantering around he was over-bending and pulling his head down and leaning on my hands in his waterford , then when i took him over a jump he again got hold of the bit and ran off (at the jump of course).
my EDT said that bitless would not work on mac so that is out of the window.
i have an issue with what bit for hacking as i have the opposite issue, he puts his head in the air and tanks off in gallop then gets hold of the bit and when i ask him to come back to me he puts his head down locks his neck and is a tank!!!
i dont mind using different bits for different things i am just going out of my mind i thought waterfords were designed so that the horse could not lean?!?!?!
please please help
