Ok well I really need some help.

We have been trying to find the right bit for Dancer for agess. She hasn't got a strong mouth so we tried a loose ring french link snaffle on her, only to find she doesn't like a lot of movement in her mouth.
We are now riding her in a Eggbutt snaffle yet she doesn't seem to like this either. Every time i take even a little tiny bit of contact she brings her head up and goes choppy in her strides. She is always really chomping on it quite visciously.

I really want to find the right bit without having to spend loads by buying a different bit just to see if she likes it.

Does any one know of a bit fitter (is this what they're called?) in the east midlands that could help or have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Nue schlue are very good to talk to, i dont know if they do come out but they are very helpful with Bit fitting, if she comes up in her carriage though a french link should be good as most horses tend to lean on them
