Have you gone French yet?
French Link bits consist of a 'broken mouthpiece', where there are two joints in the mouthpiece; and this is a great thing for your horse, here's why...

Benefits of a French Link: This more comfortable bit design conforms better around the horse's jaw and tongue and places pressure more equally over the tongue, bars and lips, when compared to a 'traditional' single-joint snaffle. 
 
"Many horses are more comfortable with bits that conform around their mouth, resulting in a more relaxed and willing partner."
 
Could a French Link be a better option for your horse?
Do you currently ride in a single-joint bit and experience any of the following:

• horse lifts head or throws his head up when you pull on the reins
• horse heavy or hard to steer one way (or both ways)
• horse leans on the bit 
• hard to get horse to accept a contact

 
With a French Link bit, any painful nutcracker effect is reduced; the separation of the mouthpieces allows the rider independent control over the two sides of the mouth; the French Link mouthpiece is available with various cheek pieces to suit your discipline and meet the requirements of your horse.
