Baucher snaffle bits, also known as hanging cheek snaffles, feature small upper shanks that attach to the bridle and a fixed ring for the reins. They provide slight poll pressure, which can encourage the horse to lower its head. The bit remains relatively stable in the horse’s mouth, offering clear communication. It’s a popular choice for dressage due to its gentle leverage and control. This bit suits horses that are sensitive or tend to toss their heads. Baucher snaffles come in various mouthpiece styles, including single and double-jointed. They’re designed for refined, balanced riding and better responsiveness.
