Effect of the Baucher bit

The bridle is fastened using the short upper bars. In combination with the unbroken bar, the Baucher bit sits very quietly and stably in the mouth. Many horses like the bar mouthpiece because it lies evenly on the tongue and is cushioned by it. The small tongue clearance relieves the middle of the tongue, making the bit particularly suitable for horses with fleshy tongues. The slight play at the connection between the mouthpiece and upper bars also encourages chewing. The burnished iron stimulates saliva production through natural oxidation processes and the formation of rust.

The Baucher bit is used without a chin chain and has no leverage. Instead, when the reins are pulled, the bit moves more towards the corner of the mouth and has an effect there. This has an uprighting effect on many horses.

The right size for the Baucher bit

Under "Size Guide" (see above) you will find the actual dimensions of the mouthpiece. If you are unsure, we recommend that you compare the actual dimensions of your existing bit with those of the Baucher bit to find the right size. Please note that the side parts should fit tightly to the corners of your horse's mouth. If your horse is undecided between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size for this model.

Care instructions for burnished iron

Rust will form on traditional, burnished products or product components after some time. This is due to natural oxidation processes and is not a quality defect, but an essential and intended characteristic of this material. To maintain the dark color, it is recommended to occasionally rub the affected parts with a cloth soaked in olive oil.
