The Fulmer french link snaffle is similar to the full cheek, but with loose rings outside the cheeks to retain the communication found with a loose ring bit, but without the bit being able to be dragged through the horses mouth. Fulmer french mouth snaffles conform to the shape of the horses mouth more naturally than a jointed bit, eliminating the nutcracker action. Fulmer cheek bits are often used on young horses to aid steering, as the cheek gives a more positive action against the cheek when the rider asks for a turn. Fulmer and full cheek snaffles should be used with fulmer loops which secure the top of the bit to the cheekpieces to prevent the bit from rotating and leaving the cheeks pointing out which could pose a hazard. By securing the cheek, it also allows a very small amount of poll pressure to come into play, helping to encourage a lower outline.
