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.
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.
This two ring gag allows the rein to be moved, increasing the leverage if needed. The peanut ensures the mouthpiece will not come in to contact with the palate when in action making it more comfortable and the apple flavour makes this EquiKind bit easy to accept.
Sweet iron and copper encourages salivation and produces a pleasant taste in the horse's mouth. Raised copper ribs can help to prevent the horse taking too much of a hold. Three rings offer leverage options to increase severity.
This bit works by putting pressure on the poll and the tongue. Attaching the reins to the lower rings will increase severity, it should be used with care.
