I dealt with a horse with both a shallow mouth and low palate, it took some playing around but we found what he liked. The shallow mouth allowed for him to put his tongue over the bit and the low palate limited the port, we ended up using a segunda on him and he's still going in that bit to this day at 14.

i am always amazed that people feel the need to ask if roaching is the answer. roaching is never the answer. never. not even if your horse's mane is on fire and the only way to put it out is to cut it off. it'd look better singed off from an out of control fire than from being roached. the end.
