Yes. It is the only snaffle used there. Franz Mairinger (an SRS rider who emigrated to Australia in the 1950's) called it the "Podhajsky trense" (Podhajsky snaffle) so the Fulmer snaffle may have been introduced to the School by Podhajsky. Of course, they use a braddon in full bridles but in the snaffle bridles, only the Fulmer is used.
What is the benefit over a fixed ring full cheek? Also, you use both the french link and the jointed. Does it just depend on which works best for a certain horse?

That's right!
