Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
Keep the communication going strong between horse and rider with the innovative Baucher Link Bit by Stubben! Made from highest quality and strength sweet copper alloy, this bit gives the horse a "sweet" taste in their mouth which promotes acceptance of the bit. Also encouraging chewing and salivation, this action relieves tension in the jaw, encouraging further acceptance and prevents resistance to the bit.
The three-piece design with center link eliminates palate pressure and the "nut-cracker" effect while the fixed attachment to the bridle provides more stability than a loose ring or eggbutt cheek piece. Excellent stability means this bit is a good choice for horses that tolerate very little bit movement in their mouth for a more quiet and communicative ride.
