The Hollow Mouth French Link Full Cheek Bit combines a lightweight, hollow mouthpiece with a French link for gentle, even pressure distribution. The full cheek design provides lateral stability and prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth, making it ideal for horses that benefit from precise guidance and steady contact. This bit is perfect for horses needing a softer feel and greater directional support.
Key Features of the Hollow Mouthpiece:
- Lightweight Feel: The hollow mouthpiece keeps the bit lighter in the horse’s mouth, which can reduce pressure and make it more comfortable, particularly for sensitive horses.
- Gentle Communication: The hollow design helps create a softer feel, allowing for smooth and consistent contact that is less likely to cause resistance.
- Balanced Design: This mouthpiece provides a steady, gentle connection, especially beneficial for horses that prefer lighter pressure.
French Link Features:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The French link’s central plate lies flat on the tongue, evenly distributing pressure across the tongue and bars, without the nutcracker effect seen in single-jointed bits.
- Independent Movement: The double-jointed structure allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving the rider finer control and reducing pressure points for greater comfort.
- Encourages Relaxation: The French link’s gentle action makes it easier for horses to accept the bit, promoting a relaxed and responsive connection between horse and rider.
Full Cheek Design Features:
- Enhanced Stability: The full cheek design prevents the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth, providing more stable lateral guidance.
- Direct Contact: The extended cheekpieces offer more direct cues, helping horses maintain better balance and stay on track.
- Encourages Responsiveness: The full cheek bit design promotes consistent, gentle guidance, making it easier for the horse to stay engaged and responsive during rides.
