The Continental 3 Ring French Link Bit is a piece that offers a similar action to the regular Snaffle bit, while also adding leverage through a second rein that creates a much stronger effect, ideal for more forceful horses. This bit, like the Snaffle, is made with large bit rings at either side of the mouthpiece. These rings are used to take on the reins, pulling to give the Continental 3 Ring French Link Bit directional control and work with the mouthpiece. Along with these rings, two smaller loops are also fitted at either side, one above and below the main bit ring. The upper ring is connected onto your bridle at the cheekpieces, holding the bit in place; all the while, the lower ring allows the use of a second rein, used to apply greater leverage within the mouth, as well as acting upon other areas on your horses head. A French link mouthpiece is used here, a double jointed design that uses a flat centre piece to connect both sides of the bit together. This double joint makes the Continental 3 Ring French Link Bit a slightly milder piece, reducing the so called nutcracker effect by allowing movement along the tongue. This in turn encourages your horse to move their jaw, creating a relaxing motion that works to make them used to the piece. A Stainless Steel material is used for the Continental 3 Ring French Link Bit, making it a strong piece that is resistant to any wear and tear that it may encounter. Its rust proof qualities make it a resilient piece, able to take on any surface damage without trouble.
