Our ComfortArch Baucher features a mullen mouth design with an anatomically positioned port crafted from high-quality German silver. This gentle copper alloy develops a warm, sweet taste when in contact with saliva, encouraging acceptance and relaxation.

The curved mullen design with integrated port provides essential tongue relief while maintaining stability - perfect for horses that tend to play with or resist more mobile mouthpiece designs. The mid-part of the mouthpiece is engineered at a slight angle that rotates to lay flat against the tongue when reins are engaged. This feature encourages the horse to seek contact further encouraging stability.

The Baucher cheek design provides increased stability in the mouth, making it an excellent choice for horses who prefer a quieter feel or those that benefit from a consistent, steady contact. The slight lift in the bit’s position helps create a balanced connection without poll pressure, making it a fantastic option for dressage and eventing horses.

German silver's natural warming properties make it particularly appealing for sensitive horses, while the solid, port-enhanced mouthpiece helps prevent tongue evasions and promotes steadier connection.

We recommend this bit for:

Horses that need tongue relief but find jointed bits too mobile
Sensitive mouths that respond well to warmer metal alloys
Riders seeking clear communication through a stable contact
Horses needing maximum amount of stability to achieve steadiness

The ComfortArch's thoughtful design ensures optimal comfort and clear communication between horse and rider. Fully dressage legal.

ComfortArch Mouthpiece

The curved mullen design of the ComfortArch with integrated port provides essential tongue relief while maintaining stability - perfect for horses that tend to play with or resist more mobile mouthpiece designs. The mid-part of the mouthpiece is engineered at a slight angle that rotates to lay flat against the tongue when reins are engaged maximising surface area with bars and tongue.

Baucher Cheekpiece

Bauchers or often called hanging cheek snaffles are bits with the most fixed position in the mouth. Contrary to popular belief baucher bits exert no leverage or pressure on the poll. In fact, pressure studies have shown baucher cheekpiece to relieve poll pressure by floating the bridle leathers that attach to the top ring upwards as reins are engaged. The stability of the bit helps with minimising unintended movement and therefore makes riders aids clearer for the horse to understand. Baucher bits are a great choice for less experienced riders and horses or those who prefer maximum stability in the cheekpiece. They often are preferred by nervous horses, horses with sensitive bars and horses that don't like the weight of the bit resting on their tongue.

German Silver

German silver is a copper-rich alloy made of nickel, copper, and zinc that promotes salivation and offers a warm feel in the mouth. It is more resistant to oxidation than sweet iron but still encourages bit acceptance due to its composition. While it does not rust, it may tarnish over time. To maintain it, clean with warm water and mild soap after each use, avoid harsh abrasives to preserve the finish, and polish occasionally to prevent discoloration.

Awesome bit!

I have tried so many different bits for my young horse who likes to lean on the bit and this is by far the best one I’ve tried. Even better than the bits that cost $300 plus that I have tried for him. Very happy and love that they’re affordable and a local company!

Awesome! We’re so glad you and your young horse are loving the bit It makes us so happy to hear that it’s working better than even the high-end options you’ve tried. Thank you for supporting a local brand, we’re thrilled to keep things both effective and affordable for riders like you!

Very pleased

This bit fits my horse and his needs great! Lots of space for his tongue and high quality materials for a reasonable price. Great alternative to the very expensive bit I was using before. Wish the bottom ring was a bit larger but definitely does it's job.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted to hear the bit is a great fit for your horse and that the design provides the comfort he needs, while still being a high-quality and affordable option. We appreciate your note about the bottom ring size and will keep that in mind for future improvements. Wishing you and your horse many happy rides!
