Does Anyonee know how to stop napping? Would a double snaffle bit help? Because when jango wants to go home he fights and starts rearing to get round. Any suggestions to help?
And his bit, saddle etc are all perfectly fit. So Any Ideas

WHat do you mean by a double snaffle bit? If you mean a double bridle - personally I don't think so. We did have a good thread on here a few months ago about bits that help with steering - I'll find a link for you.
To be honest in that sort of situation I don't think there is much tack/gadgets that will help you out. Although TIlly never reared she could be quite a determined so and so about going where she wanted and at what pace she wanted. ALthough I have out in a slightly stronger bit than I school in so that she doesn't pull my arms out of my sockets - the biggest difference has been having lots of regular lessons and doing lots of schooling (both in the school and out on a hack). This has improved my confidence and ability to be a leader from the saddle so TIlly no longer feels the need to be in charge, but also now if she starts to get a bit big for her boots I can put her mind to something else (lateral work, rein backs, really working 'correctly') which takes her mind of being a div and puts me firmly back in control.
