Details about Neue Schule Baucher/hangin g Cheek Bit,
NS Baucher/hanging cheek snaffle Size 5.5 In very good condition with only slight chomp marks on mouthpiece but still very smooth and no sharp edges. Save on the RRP of around £85. Dressage legal as a Snaffle or as a Bradoon used in conjunction with a Weymouth. Explanation from the manufacturer; The action of this bit works mainly on poll pressure, when a contact is taken the upper arm is angled forwards causing the mouthpiece to lift - thereby suspending it in the mouth and reducing pressure across the tongue and the bars, very beneficial for sensitive mouths! Any extension above the mouthpiece causes poll pressure - this in itself has a head lowering action. However, if the horse is going forward into a contact and is active behind this will encourage a rounding action and will help tremendously with the outline.
