The curvature in this bit creates a mild tongue relief. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe find this to be a great starter bit, as it is versatile, generally well accepted, and tends to take up less space without being unnecessarily harsh. Horses that resist the flat links often seen in classic double jointed snaffles tend to like the smoothness of this bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baucher, sometimes called hanging cheekpiece, creates the most stability of all cheekpieces and pulls the bit up away from the bars. \u003cspan\u003eFor drafts with very worn teeth, this stability is important. \u003c\/span\u003eThe hanging cheek also stops the bit from being pulled through the horse’s mouth and is therefore a great alternative to full cheek or even eggbutt bits for younger horses. This cheekpiece is often used on sensitive young horses or those who prefer bits with bar relief or a negative poll pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eMouthpiece thickness: 4.75\" and above - 15mm (0.590551in) \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eTotal Cheekpiece Height: 90mm (3.54331in)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eCheekpiece Height Top to Mouthpiece: 50mm (1.9685in)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDressage Legal: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUSEF Dressage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEC Dressage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFEI Dressage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEC Eventing Dressage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUSEA Dressage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Essentially, Drafts","offers":[{"title":"6","offer_id":48408259756202,"sku":null,"price":69.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3597\/7898\/files\/Smoothride_Baucher_2.png?v=1781458877","url":"https:\/\/drafttackstore.com\/products\/smoothride-baucher-snaffle","provider":"Essentially, Drafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
