BR Soft Contact double-jointed Baucher bit, 14 mm, 110 mm cheeks
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
This bit is made from 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 cheeks ending in a ring, which attaches to the cheekpieces of the bridle. Unlike other snaffles, it has a slight leverage effect and applies pressure behind the ears. The cheeks are slightly turned outward, giving the horse’s head greater freedom of movement. The supplier describes it as ideally suited to sensitive horses.

🐎 Why choose this product?
With a double-jointed mouthpiece, the bit is made up of three parts, and the central section rests flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed bit, but eliminates the V-shaped effect toward the palate. ⚠️ The Baucher’s slight leverage effect transfers pressure behind the ears: this is not an ordinary snaffle.
🧴 Care instructions
Rinse the bit with clean water after each use. ⚠️ Cuprigan tarnishes and turns green as it oxidizes: this is the normal behavior of the alloy, not a defect, and it should not be removed with an abrasive product.
