The Baucher Thin Mouth Snaffle bit from Windgate Saddlery. Baucher bits have an eggbutt-like ring at the mouthpiece for the rein,
with an upper cheek that has a ring at its end, to which the
cheekpieces of the bridle are attached. The mouthpiece does not slide on its ring but is quite fixed in the mouth and concentrates pressure
on the bars & poll. This bit lies flat against the
horse's face.
This can be thought of as a
"poll pressure snaffle." Because the cheek piece is attached to a
different ring than the rein, pressure on the rein puts slightly
increased pressure on the poll (through a rocking action of the bit in
the mouth), encouraging the horse to lower the head slightly. This bit
is extremely useful in horses who need to be worked low and deep in
order to develop muscle tone or with horses who tend to carry their
heads a bit high. The effect is not dramatic-this bit gives a gentle
suggestion, but does not demand. Stainless steel. Choose from 5", 5 1/4" or 5 1/2". This bit has a 15mm mouthpiece thickness with 2" rings.
