The Hollow Mouth French Link D Bit combines a light, hollow mouthpiece with the versatility of a French Link for gentle, even pressure across the horse’s tongue and bars. The D-ring design provides lateral stability and prevents the bit from sliding, making it suitable for horses that benefit from a stable, consistent feel. This bit is ideal for horses needing a softer touch and for those sensitive to excess pressure.
Key Features of the Hollow Mouth:
- 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’s 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.
D-Ring Design Features:
- Lateral Stability: The fixed D-shaped rings provide lateral stability, preventing the bit from sliding through the horse’s mouth and offering more precise control during turns.
- Direct Communication: The D-Ring allows for a more stable and direct connection between the rider's hands and the horse’s mouth, making it suitable for horses that need clearer guidance and more consistent contact.
- Gentle Guidance: While providing stability, the D-Ring design ensures smooth and gentle communication between horse and rider, encouraging responsiveness without discomfort.
