You need to take that bit out, go back to basics like a snaffle and some draw riens to get his head in the correct spot. Rite here he is fighting you and winning most of the time. Teach him to flex at the poll, get up on the bit and drive from behing more, lenthen his stride in the rear. Then he will not be able to hollow his back out and shorten his stride(pace). To go foward some times you need to go back. (cert TWHBEA instructor & trainer)
I have a horse that does the same darn thing lol. I have been working with her too, she is so interested in other things or looking around that she's not dropping her head. Finally made some good progress today though. Your horse is beautiful! thanks for sharing
