The French Link Baucher Snaffle Bit at 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. In addition to this bit is the french link mouthpiece. The French link snaffle also
rests on the bars, but applies less corner pressure and removes the
pinpoint tongue pressure of a single jointed snaffle. Stainless steel. Available in 4 3/4", 5" , 5 1/4" or 5 1/2" sizes. The mouthpiece is 14mm thick with 2 1/4" rings.
