The Baucher or Hanging Cheek bit is one of the most misunderstood bits today. It creates little to no poll pressure and is not a leverage bit. It’s main purpose is to create stability in the mouth with the fixed cheeks and may help with lateral direction, similar to a full cheek. Smooth, hand polished German Silver encourages bit acceptance and creates a warm and pleasing taste for your horse. An ideal bit for novice riders and professionals alike who could benefit from additional lateral control in their horse. 12mm diameter with 2″ rings.
