You should not go for stronger tack when your horse isn't responding right. That requires training, not a little "bandaid" to temporarily cover it up. I suggest getting your horse supple in a normal bridle with a snaffle bit by shortening one rein at a time and get your horse to turn his head around to your foot, only releasing when you feel the horse "give". Of course, you wont start with bringing his head around to your foot. You'll start off about half-way to your leg and gradually build up. After he does it well on both sides turning around at the slightest touch you can pull back softly on both reins evenly while keeping your reins kinda low. Dont increase the pressure, wait for him to give and when you feel the horse "give" a little towards his chest quickly release so he knows he did the right thing. After that, you can move to getting him to do this at the walk, and maybe at a small jog. This should get your horse to not be so strong. And if this isn't the problem, then add onto this and I'll see what I can do.
