SmoothShape Baucher Snaffle
SmoothShape bits are our take on the Waterford mouthpiece. SmoothShape bits are made of stainless steel that has been sanded down and polished for horses comfort.
The classic Waterford is a bit that’s often used for correcting horse’s that lock their jaws or lean on the bit. The design typically include sharp or protruding links that make leaning uncomfortable for the horse.
Our take on the Waterford mouthpiece is that it need not be sharp or uncomfortable for the horse. The multiple links ensure that the bit is highly mobile and there is not much to “hang on to”.
We recommend this mouthpieces for horses that are heavy and unresponsive and need a highly mobile bit to achieve acceptance.
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 bits.
