What bit should I use for a strong pony?

For both I thinka stronger snaffle is often more effective than a gag/ pelham etc. Waterfords can be BRILLIANT (what solved my problem) also try copper roller, cherry roller or a ported mouthpiece if that fails. I also find a fillis snaffle to be quite effective.

How do you know if a bit is too big?

A bit that’s too small can pinch the corners of the mouth, while a bit that’s too big can move around too much and clunk against his teeth. Rubbed patches or thickened skin at the corners of the mouth are signs of bad bit fit, but it’s better not to wait to see physical evidence that a bit doesn’t fit well.
