Bitting Advice for Horse that tends to go behind the vertical
 

Hi, I have a fairly new horse who has been with me 6 months. Wanted to give him time to settle in so haven't changed anything tack wise but now looking to try out a new bit/ bridle combo. When tense or excited he has a tendency to go behind the vertical and tuck his head in so I feel like I have nothing in front. Obv I am working with an instructor to try and improve this through various exercises. However we were talking about a change of bit/ bridle the other day and wondered if there was anything recommended for this type of issue. He's not strong in the hand at all and is fairly sensitive over the poll, currently in the NS full check with lozenge. I'd personally like to try him in a loose ring, or is there anything that may help? Also not sure whether is would be worth trying a Micklem on him? He's currently in a plain cavesson. If anyone can help then Many thanks!!
