⚠ Non-Returnable — Rubber bits are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged due to hygiene reasons.

The FlexArch Baucher Snaffle combines the gentle, cushioned feel of a flexible rubber mouthpiece with the stability and stillness of the Baucher cheekpiece. The pre-shaped arch comfortably accommodates the tongue without applying direct pressure to its center, while the semi-flexible rubber construction encourages acceptance in horses that are sensitive to rigid metal mouthpieces.

Paired with the Baucher (hanging cheek) design, this bit offers one of the most fixed positions in the mouth, minimizing unintended movement and making rein aids clearer for the horse to understand. Contrary to popular belief, the Baucher exerts no leverage or poll pressure. Instead, pressure studies have shown that the floating bridle leathers actually relieve poll pressure when the reins are engaged.

The FlexArch Baucher is a versatile, comfort-focused option well suited to nervous horses, those with sensitive bars, or horses that dislike the weight of a traditional bit resting on their tongue. Its mullen (unjointed) profile distributes pressure evenly across the bars and tongue, promoting a steady, elastic contact across disciplines.

Due to the shape of the mouthpiece we recommend sizing up 1/4" to accommodate the attachment of the cheekpiece.

Thickness: 14mm (Medium)

Please note that all rubber bits are non-returnable and non-exchangeable due to the porous nature of the material.

FlexArch Mouthpiece

The FlexArch mouthpiece features a softly arched, ported design created to offer generous tongue space while maintaining a smooth, forgiving feel.
The large port lifts gently over the tongue, allowing it to sit more freely without being compressed, while the arched shape helps the mouthpiece settle evenly when rein contact is taken. This design supports a relaxed tongue position and reduces the feeling of crowding, encouraging a steady, comfortable contact without sharp pressure.

Made from semi-flexible rubber, the FlexArch mouthpiece is designed to feel soft and accommodating in the horse's mouth.
The controlled flexibility allows the mouthpiece to adapt to tongue movement while remaining stable and easy to understand for the horse. This makes FlexArch a good option for horses with sensitive tongues or those that resist more rigid or restrictive mouthpiece designs, promoting relaxation, acceptance, and a quieter overall feel in the contact.

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.

Rubber

Rubber is a soft, flexible material that provides a gentle feel in the horse’s mouth. It can be solid or have a metal core for added durability, making it a good choice for horses that dislike metal. It is soft and mild but can wear down or crack over time. Rubber encourages chewing and salivation but requires regular inspection. Rinse with warm water after each use, avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent drying and cracking, and check frequently for damage.
