This is a traditional French link with a flat plate. It has small loose rings making it perfect for horses with small heads and those who require more movement in the bit.
This full cheek jointed bit has keys (or players) which encourage the horse to mouth and accept the bit, they also act as a distraction for young horses getting used to a bit.

The French link in this bit means pressure is applied to both sides of the tongue. Some horses with low palates may find this bit more comfortable as it is unlikely to make contact with the palate when the bit comes in to action. The full cheeks assist with steering.
The loose ring cheek can discourage fixing and leaning as it has much more movement than a fixed cheek to follow the angle of the tongue. The shaped lozenge offers even pressure and encourages mouthing and contact. Mouthpiece thickness: 15mm. Cheek height: 65mm.
