KORSTEEL French Link Eggbutt Snaffle Bit

A French link eliminates the 'nutcracker' effect that single-jointed bits can create on the roof of the mouth. It sits flatter on the tongue, making it a much more comfortable option for horses with a low palate or those who are sensitive to pressure.

The fixed eggbutt rings prevent the bit from pinching the corners of the horse's mouth and offer a more stable, steady feel against the cheek. This makes it a great choice for horses that are easily distracted or need a consistent, reassuring contact.

Yes, this is an excellent choice for a young horse. The combination of the stable eggbutt cheek and the gentle, independent movement of the French link provides clear, predictable communication without being overly harsh.

No, this is a direct-action snaffle bit. It does not provide leverage or curb action, meaning the pressure applied by the rider is exactly what the horse feels in their mouth.

Measure the distance between the horse's lips across the mouth when they are relaxed. The bit should fit snugly without pinching the corners of the mouth or leaving excessive room for the bit to slide side-to-side.
