Hi It depends what you want your horse to do. If you arte having trouble stopping and your horse has a plain snaffle you could try a 3 ring snaffle on the lower rings or a dutch gag. For dressage a doiuble bridle is allowed in certain levels but a french link snaffle or and eggbutt snaffle would be better if not a double. Hope this helps.

Whats a strong bit you could use on a horse but its not too severe?
I just want to add a bit of information to my Question. Okay well i am looking for a stronger bit than the eggbut snaffle i am currently using. It needs to be diverse as my horse dosent need a strong bit in the school or in a field he knows but does when out hacking or cantering in a big feild he does not normally go in as he just bolts and i feel as if i have no control. He is a 16. 1hh irish thoroughbred who is 11 and is an ex steeple-chaser, Hunter and Eventer. I was thinking about a 3 ring snaffle or gag what do you think about this idea?

I ride a gorgeous coloured cob and I would love to show him but he can be very strong and needs a gag bit so would this be allowed or what could i do instead?
Work with him on it. Let him know that YOUR the boss and he is NOT. My advice is to work with the gag bit on him for a bit and see how he responds. The switch him back to the normal bit and MAKE him slow down. If he gives you grief. Stop hold tight on the reins then if he listens to you gently loosen the reins and start again. Hope this helped!!! :)
What bit can you use on a extremely strong 13.3hh newforset gelding?
I wanted to put a discription in with my question but it wouldn't let me. Soo... My pony is 13.3hh newforsest gelding who on open land is practically unstoppable. In the school he is snaffle mouthed but when he gets spooked or excited he goes into super strong mode and is difficult to handle. I've tried a martaingale he just sticks his head down and leans... I've tried a flash, a drop nose band, a grackle and a kinton.... I then turned to bits. I've tried... Loose ring snaffle, loose ring french link snaffle, eggbut snaffle, eggbut french link snaffle, a dutch gag, a french link dutch gag, a fulmer, a full cheek copper roller, a pelham, a kimblewick, a full cheek waterford and a half cheek snaffle... Proberly a few more that I can't think off the top my head.. None of these work not even nosebands... I'm to affraid to go out cantering with other people incase they fall off or their horse messes around and I can't stop! Other then this he's a star... So advice please?! I don't know that a stronger bit is your answer. I had an arab x pony that, when he wanted to, had a mouth like a block of concrete, he was usually ridden in a snaffle, but I wound up trying all types of bits with no success. Using a stronger and stronger bit could just make the horse resentful. It sounds like he needs some re-education or you could try a hackamore. With my pony I started riding him in just a halter and lead rope and found that he was very responsive. Each horse is different. Good luck with him.
