Everything you need to know about the French Link Snaffle Bit

Bit's come in almost every shape and size, in this video we break down what the differences are in each of the french link snaffle bits. Which ones are more comfortable for the horse and which ones have a sharp edge. The french link bit is commonly used in dressage for both the snaffle and the double bridle. Beth Haist from The Horse of Course talks about choosing the french link bit that is best for your horse.
This video was filmed at the Robert Dover Horsemastership Program in Wellington, Florida.

Let her talk about bits. It is better that she keeps her overweight from any horseback.

Just bc u don’t agree with her, that doesn’t mean u have to insult her on her weight. Act your age

Whether or not you're within the approximately-20% rule for the horse you're riding is a lot more important than whether or not a rider can be considered 'overweight.' A heavier but well-balanced rider is also a lot easier for the horse to carry than one that's bouncing all over the place but might be a bit lighter.
A lot of not very tall women might be considered 'overweight' at what would be considered a 'healthy' weight for a man that's a head taller. Does that mean that male riders shouldn't be allowed to ride, at all?
It's also dependent on the kind of work you're doing, I'm more comfortable doing dressage, poles on the ground/cavalettis, and hacking with a pony that I know I'm in the upper weight bracket for, than jumping.
