The Hollow Mouth French Link Fixed Gag Bit combines a lightweight, hollow mouthpiece with a French link to distribute pressure gently across the horse’s mouth. The fixed gag design provides lift and added control, encouraging the horse to raise its head when needed. This bit is suitable for horses that require both a lighter mouthpiece and a bit more lift, without compromising comfort.

Key Features of the Hollow Mouthpiece:

• Lightweight Feel: The hollow mouthpiece keeps the bit lighter in the horse’s mouth, which can reduce pressure and make it more comfortable, particularly for sensitive horses. 
• Gentle Communication: The hollow design helps create a softer feel, allowing for smooth and consistent contact that is less likely to cause resistance.
• Balanced Design: This mouthpiece provides a steady, gentle connection, especially beneficial for horses that prefer lighter pressure.

French Link Features:

• Even Pressure Distribution: The French link’s central plate lies flat on the tongue, evenly distributing pressure across the tongue and bars, without the nutcracker effect seen in single-jointed bits.
• Independent Movement: The double-jointed structure allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving the rider finer control and reducing pressure points for greater comfort.
• Encourages Relaxation: The French link’s gentle action makes it easier for horses to accept the bit, promoting a relaxed and responsive connection between horse and rider.

Fixed Gag Design Features:

• Encourages Responsiveness: Even with the added lift, the design encourages smooth communication between the rider and horse, helping the horse stay engaged without tension.
• Consistent Leverage: The fixed gag cheekpieces provide consistent lift without any sliding action giving riders steady control. 
• Added Lift: The gag action applies upward pressure, encouraging the horse to lift its head, making it ideal for horses that tend to be heavy on the forehand.
