Baucher bit Baroque single jointed 12 mm brass gold

Baroque decorated Baucher bit made of gold-colored brass with a special, thin single broken mouthpiece

Baucher bit with single broken mouthpiece in gold-colored brass. The ornate side pieces with a floral pattern in the Portuguese Cortesia style make the Baucher bit a baroque eye-catcher. The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 mm.

The vertical play at the connection between mouthpiece and the side parts - similar to a bit with sliding cheek - encourages chewing activity. In contrast to a Baucher bit with a fixed connection, the horse can position the mouthpiece slightly more in the mouth. This also means that rein aids, similar to a loose ring snaffle bit, are less direct. This also compensates for slightly unsteady hands, for example.

Due to the movable connection between the side pieces and mouthpiece , we recommend the use of bit guards made of rubber for this bit , as is usual with many Iberian bits.

The Baucher bit is manufactured exclusively for Picadera in a factory in Portugal.

Effect of the Baucher bit

The bridle is buckled via the oval eyelets on the upper bars. The shape of the side pieces means that the Baucher bit is more stable in the mouth and offers lateral adjustment via the pressure on the horse's cheek. Another special feature of this sidepiece shape is that the mouthpiece sags less downwards compared to other bits, such as loose ring snaffle bit, olive head bits, D-ring or full cheek snaffle bit. Even when chewing, it can only be moved minimally in the direction of the incisors and has an almost straight position in the horse's mouth, similar to an ported mouthpiece. This makes the Baucher bit suitable for all horses with little space in the mouth and/or a short mouth gap.

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

The right size for the Baucher bit

In our experience, you can choose the usual size of your horse for this bit . For correct action and aids, the side pieces of the Baucher bit should lie close to the corners of the horse's mouth. If your horse fluctuates between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size for this model.
