ComfortLink Baucher Snaffle

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.
