I have always been under the impression that with any broken bit you can two hand as each side of the bit works independently of the other. That a broken curb bit does not necessaily mean you neck rein..??

That's true, you can two hand it, just understand that when you bring it into play, you are getting contact on the bars of the mouth and on the chinstrap, and not so much on the corner of the mouth. You are getting as much or more 'stop' as 'turn'.

he will blow by the barrel with the snaffle, and tends to bend just his neck rather then his whole body.

With the full cheek snaffle, when you pull on both sides, you get pressure on the corner of the mouth and the bars for the 'woah'. But when you pull on just one side, you get pressure on the inside corner, but most of all, the cheek piece on the outside, that turns his face with very little woah.

That pretty much describes my problems. I'm pretty much, I think, looking for something that falls inbetween these two.
