Okay, please don't eat me! But, what vets have seen him? I know you said the best vets in Texas, but that varies. Have you had him to a lameness locator? Bone scan?

If he doesn't do it when your husband rides him, that makes me think that you're setting him up to soon, he's getting into the barrel with his shoulder, which forces him to throw his hip and blow his lead. Try keeping your outside leg into him going across the pen, and keeping your outside rein guiding him into his spot.

All just thoughts on my part...

Location: North Dakota		 As far as him FIGHTING you with the bit as you say he does, you really seem to move your hand down in your turns and keep your hand overly low. I know my horse Red doesn't like it when my hands go low like that.



What if you keep your hand up in the turn and try to "lift" instead of pull him around? More like this?



If she's as broke as you say she is, you really shouldn't need much of your hands on the reins at all. Use your seat and legs.

 My daughter was doing the same thing with the low hands and it made a huge diifference when we got her to lift.
