Wanted: 5.5" Bit- see inside for photo

Guest

Not having much luck finding one of these at the moment.
Must be French Link and NOT KK. Prefer Korstel branded. (Not sure if they come in eggbut or not, but happy with either eggbut or loose ring style).
Please let me know if you have one you'd be willing to sell!

That is a KK terra not a french link. A french link has a flat piece in the middle not rounded.

Guest

Yeah I've seen all sorts listed as both styles.
The pic I linked, Ive bought a few like that before and they've all been tagged as French Links, no wonder people get confused!!!! (Including that pic as well, off an online tack website).
Definitely didn't want the flat piece one, and also, one bit I bought, tagged as a 'KK' had the same shaped centre piece, but at a right angle and it just didn't look/feel comfortable.
Im being a picky douche, I know....

If the flat bit in the middle is at a right angle, isn't that a Dr Bristol??? (Very harsh bit).

Not the flat bit, the chunky bit. But ouch, at what you described. I think youre right though. Probably a good reason why theyre banned at PC!

KK's are the ones with the rounded centre pieces, french links are the ones with the flat plate Wink

even if the saddleries are too dumb to figure it out haha.

and your not being picky, i ride all young horses in a KK but wouldnt put a french on any horse - i hate them!!
