The loose ring french link thin mouth is a thinner version of the traditional french link, which suits horses with large tongues or small mouths, & those that tend to lean on thicker bits. The french link is often favoured by horses as the lack of palette pressure makes the bit more comfortable & relieves pressure on the horses bars. Often wrongly mistaken for a Dr Bristol, the french link snaffle is a very kind bit, as the central plate is shaped & lies flat on the tongue passively.
