Zilco French Link Eggbutt Snaffle

Unlike a single-jointed bit that can create a 'nutcracker' effect by pressing against the roof of the mouth, the French link features a central plate. This plate lies flat against the tongue, distributing pressure more evenly and offering a much gentler feel for the horse.

The fixed eggbutt cheeks prevent the bit from sliding side-to-side in the horse's mouth, which helps eliminate pinching at the corners of the lips. This design provides a more stable, steady contact that is often preferred for younger horses or those sensitive to movement.

Yes, this is an excellent choice for daily schooling. Its design prioritizes clear, consistent communication without being overly harsh, making it a reliable tool for training sessions where you want to encourage a soft, responsive mouth.

This bit has a 14 mm mouthpiece thickness. This is a standard, moderate thickness that is generally comfortable for most horses, providing enough surface area to be gentle while remaining slim enough to fit comfortably in the mouth.

Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to rust, making it very low-maintenance. You can simply rinse it off after each ride to keep it clean and hygienic for your horse.
