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.
