ComfortGlide Baucher Snaffle

Sale price$74.90 CAD

Size:
In stock

The ComfortGlide mouthpiece features a thoughtfully engineered double-jointed design with an optimized curvature that works harmoniously with your horse's oral anatomy. Our refined angle of the link placement and curved cannons to minimise any interference with the palate create smoother communication compared to traditional designs, particularly beneficial for horses that find standard double-jointed bits too invasive.

The flattened links provide a broader contact surface across the bars, helping distribute pressure more evenly without sharp edges. This reduces focused pressure points while maintaining clear communication between horse and rider.

Made from German silver (a copper-nickel-zinc alloy), this bit develops a mild taste that some horses accept well. The 12mm mouthpiece works particularly well for horses that respond well to double jointed designs but cannot accommodate a bulkier mouthpiece.

The Baucher cheekpiece 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, driving and eventing horses.

Features:

  • Optimized curve design for improved comfort
  • Broader pressure distribution through flat links
  • German silver construction
  • 12mm for limited palate space

ComfortGlide Mouthpiece

The ComfortGlide features a thoughtfully engineered double-jointed design with an optimized curvature that works harmoniously within a narrower mouth. The refined angle of the link placement and curved cannons minimise any interference with the palate making this a great starting point for horses that prefer a double link design but struggle with less space between the tongue and the palate.

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.
