- Stainless steel
- Reduced nutcracker action
- Even pressure over the bars
- Ecourages the horse to not hang on the bit
- The rings on a loose ring bit are completely loose and can rotate freely.
This gives the rider more play as the rings shift with the change in rein pressure. - The oval elliptical link is basically a variant of the French link, with a rounded lozenge instead of a flat spatula joining the two halves of the bit.
- The benefits are largely the same, with reduced nutcracker action, more even pressure over the bars, and independent control over the two sides of the mouth.
- Encourages the horse to be lighter and lean on the bit less, as there is more mobility in the mouthpiece.
- The curved mouthpiece creates more room for the tongue, making it more comfortable for the horse.
