BR Soft Contact single-jointed Baucher bit, 16 mm, 110 mm shanks
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
This bit is made of solid Cuprigan—a 89% copper, 7% aluminum, 3% iron, and 1% zinc alloy—mounted on stainless steel rings. As it oxidizes, the material releases a pleasant smell and taste. Its anatomical shape follows the contours of the mouth and distributes pressure gently and evenly.
A Baucher bit has upward-curving cheeks ending in a ring, which attaches to the cheekpieces of the bridle. Unlike other snaffle bits, it has a slight leverage effect and applies pressure behind the ears. The cheeks angle slightly outward, allowing the horse’s head greater freedom of movement. The supplier describes it as ideally suited to sensitive horses.

🐎 Why choose this product?
The same Baucher design with a 16 mm mouthpiece, which distributes pressure over a larger surface area. ⚠️ The slight leverage effect transfers pressure behind the ears: this is not an ordinary snaffle bit.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse the bit with clean water after each use. ⚠️ Cuprigan tarnishes and turns green as it oxidizes: this is normal for the alloy, not a defect, and it should not be removed with an abrasive product.
