Default Help!

I have a 5 year old that we are training and wanting to take to the races, his is ready to go except for one problem. He holds his head to the left and we are afraid to get a jockey on him because he is hard to control because of this. We have tried different bits and he is using burrs right now. I am lost and unsure what our next idea needs to be.

He has no problems riding in the open but once on the track he just pulls his head to the left and wants to go to the outside. He is starting to stay on the rail but we just can't get his head straight in the turns. If anyone has any idea or tips I would be much greatful. please please help!!!!!!!

An unraced 5 year old is quite old - I would get a chiropractor, dentist and farrier to look over it. I know someone said to breeze it to the right - we never did that and unless you have your own track I am not sure how you would.

This is totally and I know I am new, but please help me out.

I am getting married in July and am trying to win a new living room set to give to my bride as a wedding present (I was recently laid off so buying one if out of the question for the time being). If you could please vote for me I would appreciate it.

Voted for you (though not a forum subject ). Good luck...
