SmoothLink Baucher Snaffle

SmoothLink single jointed bits are made of stainless steel that has been sanded down and polished for horses’ comfort.

This bit features a smooth single jointed link mouthpiece to avoid any unnecessary pinching.

The loose ring, eggbutt, elevator and gag bits of this line can be used “upside down” to provide mild bar relief and give you a hint whether your horse prefers more pressure to be directed towards the center or the side of the tongue above bars.

We find this to be a great starter bit and a less expensive alternative to other premium bits as it is versatile, generally well accepted and tends to take up less space in the horse’s mouth without being unnecessarily harsh.

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.
