Effect of the Baucher bit

The buckling on the bridle is done via the short upper trees. This causes the Baucher bit to be more stable in the mouth, offers a lateral adjustment possibility via the pressure on the horse's cheek and sags less downwards than other bits. Even when chewing, it can only be moved minimally towards the incisors. When used as a bradoon in combination with a curb bit, this makes it easier to avoid collision of the two bit in the mouth - an advantage especially for horses with short mouth gaps. The slight play at the connection between mouthpiece and the upper trees also promotes chewing activity. Through natural oxidation processes and the formation of noble rust, the burnished iron stimulates salivation.

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

The right size for the Baucher bit

Under "Size guide" you will find the real dimensions of the mouthpiece. If you are unsure, we recommend that you compare the real dimensions of your existing bit with those of the Baucher bit . Please note that the side pieces should fit close to the corners of your horse's mouth. If your horse varies between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size for this model.

Care instructions for burnished iron

Rust forms on traditional, burnished products or product components after some time. This is caused by natural oxidation processes and is not a quality defect, but an essential and desired characteristic of this material. To maintain the dark colour, it is recommended to occasionally rub the parts in question with a cloth soaked in olive oil.
