This Baucher bit has a standard jointed metal mouthpiece and a hanging cheek, and because it is made of stainless steel, the durable design will never rust, bend, or break. The top ring attaches to the cheek pieces of the bridle and the larger ring to the reins. This bit is permissible for dressage when used with a snaffle bridle or with a double bridle, on the bradoon rein. The bit provides just enough elevation and is ideal for the horse with a sensitive mouth.
