can anyone recommend a decent copper thin french link snaffle?

[kombikids]

as above really - am borrowing one of a kind HHO but need to buy one - does anyone know of a company doing copper quite thin (tb so has small mouth!) loose ring french link snaffle, cant seem to find one. Just got pipped to the post on ebay. After a 5.1/4. Out of interest has anyone tried a cherry roller - someone suggested that i did? Are they harsh? Horsey goes in a hackamore but trying to get her back in a bit, have tried rubber snaffles/mylers but they are actually too fat for her mouth.Shes a total fuss pot when it comes to bitting, not strong at all just hard to get here to take a contact. Thanks

I wouldn't use a cherry roller if you don't need extra brakes. I use a Sweet Iron loose-ring french link for my TB and she loves it - she has a very sensitive mouth and this bit is lovely and light, thin and tasty

try www.ridingbitz.com they have every bit and mouthpiece every imaginable! Saw them advertised in Carriage driving magazine. I think they're made to order too so you might be able to ask for specialities.

Are you prepared to pay lots?

The sprenger KK has a peanut in the middle and is loose ring with aurigan so a sweet metal. My mare is fantastic in hers and i wouldnt change back to a 'cheaper model'. (you can get it in different thicknesses too i think you want 16mm as the thinest)

Having looked at it you would prob want the 14mm one.

I got a french link type bit off ebay. It has loose rings, sweet iron bars and a copper lozenge in the middle. It was advertised as a peanut bit. Sorry can't remember the seller.

Ive got the same bit Spider, had it for years and have been trying for years to stop my horses tongue habit with every imaginable bit but never tried this until last week. Well I think we may have cracked it.
