[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 557959, member: 539"] Going from a snaffle to a medium port curb is quite a change with regard to severity, and it could be responsible for his head tossing and crow-hopping. On the other hand - based on your description - it sounds like this horse could be a bit spoiled, and the crow-hopping could have been the result of a plain old temper fit due to his not having his way anymore. You might want to consider borrowing a low-port curb bit, an O or D-ring snaffle, or possibly even a Tom Thumb snaffle (not my favorite, but it just might do the trick for you) from a friend and trying those on him. Additionally, you might also want to consider doing some ground work (if you're not already doing it) with this horse to establish a working relationship, as well as reinforcing his respect for you.
