The Full Cheek French Link snaffle is a good bit for green horses as the full cheek prevents the bit being pulled through the horses mouth. It is an ideal bit for training horses.
Full cheekBits are often used on young horses to aid steering, as the full cheek gives a more positive action against the horse when the rider asks for a turn.
The French Link conforms to the shape of the horses mouth more naturally than a jointed bit, by applying pressure to both sides of the tongue,eliminating the nutcracker action. 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.
