The “hanging cheek” or “baucher” helps to encourage horses who need a little more bit stability, while the copper peanut improves salivation and bit acceptance.

Contrary to popular belief, the baucher bit does not create added poll pressure and is not designed as a “leverage” bit. It’s action is a mix between the eggbutt and full cheek.
