The French link was developed to lie in more of a curve than its jointed counterparts and it is therefore better suited to the shape of the horse’s mouth. By allowing the horse to move it gently with his tongue, it reduces the amount of tongue pressure associated with the jointed mouths and encourages the horse to accept the bit.
Most horses more readily accept the French link and are more comfortable in their mouths, due to its unique ability to flex as the horse requires.
The rubber covering on the bit makes the action of the bit on the horse’s tongue and bars less severe. This encourages the sensitive horse to soften in the jaw and mouth, promoting a light positive contact.
Although not severe, this bit gives the rider more control than a regular loose ring snaffle and utilises a mild gag action to promote the horse’s outline, head carriage and responsiveness.
The cheek piece is attached to the upper bevel of the bit ring while the rein can either be attached to the bit ring as one would for a normal snaffle bit, or it can be attached to the bottom bevel, thereby increasing poll pressure and creating a greater turning effect around corners.
** No returns or exchanges are possible if there are chew marks on the mouthpiece.
