French Snaffle Brass Link

French Snaffle with Brass Link

A stainless steel snaffle bit with a flat brass lozenge link, designed to soften contact and encourage a relaxed, accepting mouth. The oval link removes the severe nutcracker action of a single-jointed snaffle, distributing rein pressure more evenly across the bars and tongue.

Why Horses Go Well in a French Link

The flat, oval plate removes the severe nutcracker action of a single-jointed snaffle, and encourages the horse to be lighter and lean on the bit less, as there is more mobility in the mouthpiece. The link lies flat against the horse's tongue and transfers rein pressure more evenly over the bars. The brass has a softening effect and promotes salivating, which helps keep the horse relaxed through the jaw and poll.

Pairing and Fit

This bit pairs well with any standard snaffle bridle and is a sensible choice for riders looking to step away from a harsher mouthpiece. Browse the full range of snaffle bits or explore more horse riding gear at Solo Saddlers.
