Not sure if this is going to rub you the wrong way or not, but have you tried a bitless bridle of any kind? My little paint mare had a severely uneducated and sensitive mouth, so she was pretty balky with a bit and would root and back up a lot. So, I got a Dr. Cook's Bitless Bridle on eBay and it works like a charm. It "hugs" the whole head so your mare wouldn't be able to evade it. I taught my pony "whoa" with it, so now I can ride her with a bit using my body and voice commands to control her pace and use the bridle to achieve poll/neck/jaw flexion.
Read all about it!
