I need some bit advice. my QH doesnt seem to respond to the bit well. Ive tried curb, argentine snaffle, another milder variation of the curb, and I picked up a curb with a copper roller yesterday but havent tried it yet. Im thinking about getting something milder just to see what he does. im worried that since he wont stop with these harsher bits, that I will be in trouble with something milder. he reigns well and all, but stopping seems to be his problem.
Ive been trying to be light handed with him but the bastard just wont listen unless I really yank the shite out of the reins to make him stop.

Have you tried a snaffle without any sort of curb? My TB always Had a lot of go but he just happier in a softer bit.
I would try a snaffle of some sort. You can do a twisted wire or slow twist which are still strong bits but don't have poll or curb pressure. And don't forget to use your seat when stopping. I try to tell beginners to think of it as squeezing them into a halt.

I am not dogging you by any means but just from the sounds of it its operator error. Curb bit has a pretty god amount of stop to it. It sounds cruel but start walking him and make him stop.if he current respond to gentle use force. By that I mean pull both reigns equal and extend your legs in front of the horses shoulders. As soon as he respond to the stop take the pressure off that is his reward. And repeat multiple times

Big bits don't fix anything, keep buying bits and pretty soon you got barbed wire in his mouth and he is still running away. Learn to get hime to give to pressure. Halter or snaffle bit the horse should respond the same.
