d-ring snaffle should be fine for a horse like that and it gives u more control on your horse and thaey sell them in tack shops so they're not hard to find! I always recommend going back to basics to soften a strong horse, but using a slow twist snaffle really helps. Only if you have light hands, as slow twists and twisted snaffles can really hurt as they are usually smaller in diameter then regular jointed or double jointed snaffles.
the beginner rider should be riding a beginner level horse. a beginner horse should be able to go in a snaffle. our beginnger horses go in a full cheek copper twist or a snaffle double jointed
The snaffle is a type of bit. A similar word is stifle, which is a hind leg joint in the horse.
if it is strong then a 3 ringed gag or pellum if it isn't then something Ike a snaffle
A ( gentle) bit for a horse

I personally think the snaffle is nice because the horse can play with it with it's tongue, but the snaffle might pinch the horse's mouth.
I have a horse with a similar description that I use a full cheek snaffle on. It keeps him checked while letting him have very free-flowing movement.
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.
Try a twisted wire snaffle or double twisted wire snaffle they make seem to be harsh bits, but with a proper hand they work wonders. Also, when you put the bridle on the horse, make sure there is 2-3 wrinkles in your horses mouth just above the bit. ~A horse of course :) ~
A Snaffle
A snaffle bit is a simple jointed bit that does not provide leverage. Many snaffles are jointed bits, but not all jointed bits are snaffles. A mullen mouth is a curved, non-jointed snaffle bit. What distinguishes a snaffle is that the reins are attached directly to the bit without any sort of leverage, either through shanks or lower rings or slots.
They are most likely to be looking at the rider.
