Hey guys, I currently have a 5 year old gelding who only started proper ridden work in the Summer (backed as a 3 y/o and then turned away as no rider) and he's been riding away nicely so far. However recently he's been sticking his head up in the air and trying to evade my contact in trot. In walk and canter he works in a lovely, consistent outline and he has always had to be 'ridden in' so to speak before he would drop onto the bit in trot, yet recently he's been doing it no matter how much bending/ transition and schooling work I do. He has recently had his teeth and back checked so I know that they definitely aren't the cause.
What does everyone suggest I do? He's ridden in a loose ring snaffle with a lozenge currently.
Thank you
