CalmRide Baucher Snaffle
The Calmride mouthpiece is designed to provide comfort and tongue relief for horses with sensitive tongues or other oral issues.
This stainless steel bit features a curved mouthpiece with a barrel in the center. This design allows extra space for the horse's tongue, facilitates better gliding over the tongue as reins are engaged and preventing it from being pinched or pressed against the roof of the mouth.
The bit has medium flexibility in the barrel joint. The cannons of the bit move independently which allows for a clearer signal between the rider and the horse.
The copper rollers on the barrel encourage horse to chew, makes sliding the bit across the tongue more comfortable and promotes relaxation.
The baucher or sometimes called hanging cheekpiece creates the most stability of all cheekpieces and pulls the bit up away from the bars.
The hanging cheek stops the bit from being pulled through the horse’s mouth and is therefore a great alternative to full cheek or even eggbutt bits for younger horses.
This cheekpiece is often used on sensitive young horses or those who prefer bits with bar relief or a negative poll pressure.
Mouthpiece thickness: 10mm
Total Cheekpiece Height: 90mm
Cheekpiece Height Top to Mouthpiece: 50mm

Very good
My Welsh loves this bit! Very happy with this product.
I have a thoroughbred who can be stiff and has difficulty settling into the contact. He seems to really like this bit. He is softer and stays round more consistently. He can toss his head with a strong contact and he doesn’t do that as much in this bit. He also salivates more.
As with any young horse, finding the right bit without compromising comfort or training has been an education in trial and error. My youngster has a small mouth with big lips and tongue, and a relatively low palate. My latest bit has been a Flexible Mullen mouth, which seems to fit his mouth well, but he tends to lean too hard on it. Plus, he has found a way to leave chew marks. When I read the specs on this bit, it sounded perfect for what he needed... and it truly is for the stage he is at. Thank you for a great Canadian product!
My green broke mare seems very happy with the Baucher snaffle bit I bought. Her previous bit was a chewing nightmare from the moment I started using it. This new bit seems to have a calming effect on her and she's much quieter with her mouth.
