My horse rides soft, is well broke.  She is very ratey.  Lately I've been knocking barrels.  She is cutting off her turn.  Slightly dropping her shoulder, I lift, she rates more, we knock.  I saw where Molly Powell used the Rate and Turn on Slider with great success.  I thought I might give it a try.  Just looking at it makes me think of the Pretzel bit.  I was hoping some of you could give me some insight before I hit the checkout button.  ??

eta:  I have done drills, lots of inside leg, etc.  I never have thought that much about a bit to fix it, just thinking it won't hurt to try something different.

I have both bits, I  like the Moly Powell bit with the chain sides a little better on my gelding than the Pretzel.  He is pretty light mouthed but has a tendency to want to get a little front endy in his turns if I don't ride him correctly. The chain seems to slow down the "snappy" my hands tend to get and gives him that chance to respond before the port really contacts.
