He’s currently in a French link eggbutt but feel like I need more brakes. He’s forward going and has a tendency to put his head down and plough through the bit. He also doesn’t always halt when I ask him and becomes a giraffe waving his head around and opening his mouth.
I’ve only had him a few months and am still getting used to him.
I have no idea if a flash will work? Or if changing his bit would be better? He’s a 6 year old with attitude. I’m thinking a copper roller would help, or sweet iron something as he doesn’t seem keen on the bit. I did have him in a fulmer full cheek to start with but it was a single link and he didn’t like the nutcracker action (I don’t think).
I’m clueless when it comes to bits, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
