Centaur French Link Hunter Dee

Yes, the French link mouthpiece is designed to distribute pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars compared to a single-jointed bit. This helps prevent the 'nutcracker effect' and typically results in a softer, more comfortable feel for the pony.

The Dee ring design provides a stable cheekpiece that prevents the bit from sliding through the pony's mouth. This stability is particularly helpful for steering and provides a clear, consistent signal, which is ideal for the precision required in hunter disciplines.

The 18/8 stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, so it requires minimal maintenance. Simply rinse the bit with water after each use to remove saliva and debris, and wipe it down with a soft cloth to maintain the hand-polished finish.

The French link Hunter Dee is a standard, traditional design widely accepted in hunter rings. However, you should always consult the current USEF rulebook for your specific division to ensure the bit meets all equipment requirements.

The guarantee covers the integrity of the 18/8 stainless steel material against rusting or pitting under normal riding conditions. It ensures that the metal will not degrade or compromise the safety of the bit over time.
