Right ill start at the begining

horse throws head alot and violently attimes.
leans onthe bit in walk, and trot.
throws head more in trot

dead to the right leg

so spoke to RI who comes to yard she said it could well be the bit
as it creats alot of poll pressure and most horses she has seenwith it really chomp at it as well.
said to change itto a different snaffle

friend at yard lent me a loose ring french link
out her in that yesterday in the school no leaning on the bit nice a light.
trot work just flicked her nose 3 times that was it. again no leaning
tried a little canter very nice

so took her out up the road trotted very nice
trotted up the bridle path again nice
had a canter ok weve not mastered staying on the bit and collected out yet but again was nice, i was a little aprehensive in canter so wasnt as good as it should of been.

as for the leg

since changing the bit was more responsive to the right leg, could the bit of been the issue. only time will tell
