Many thanks to Jodie for her excellent service, comprising sound advice, an easy to use, informative website, very speedy delivery and a great idea - allowing customers to try different bits out at very reasonable prices. Whether you choose a single or double-jointed bit, a snaffle, an eggbutt bit, a pelham, a full cheek snaffle, a hackamore, etc., would depend entirely on your horse, your skill level and your riding style. After 3 weeks (and a few hissy fits at having to carry himself), he is going better in this than the Parelli Cradle! And I can enter dressage competitions with him. Horse bits are available in a variety of designs and different materials: titanium, stainless steel, copper, rubber, Aurigan or leather. Success!! My horse is going beautifully in it - it seems to give him the stability he needs, yet not allowing him to lean on me - he feels so light and 'up' in front. However I found that this bit had too much 'wrap' movement, resulting in my horse treating it like a snaffle - something to lean on! I consulted Jodie again and she recommended that I try the Myler 32 hanging cheek mullen mouth instead. Initially she thought that the Myler 02 hanging cheek comfort snaffle would be the most similar to my current bit so I took one on trial - it arrived a day later! I was looking for a bit that is dressage legal that would have the same feel as the bit I was riding my horse in at the time - a Parelli Cradle bit (based on a Myler combination). I found the bit bank website via search engine and found it easy to use with lots of excellent information. Even though it has a fixed cheek, the Baucher is still considered a direct rein action cheekpiece because there is no leverage or curb action.Įxcellent service, thoroughly recommended! When engaged, the reins will pull back on the cheekpiece and mouthpiece, as well as rotate the purchase forward slightly, creating some poll pressure. The fixed cheek keeps the bit suspended in the horse’s mouth and prevents it from sliding around in the bridle, giving the rider more control over the mouthpiece than a traditional loose ring. For a ported mullen style offering more tongue relief, see the MB 06 or MB 36.Īlso known as a “hanging cheek” because the bridle attaches at the purchase, the Baucher is typically used for dressage. Notes: Popular with riders who are more comfortable with a traditional design, but we recommend that you try the MB 32-3 to get the full benefit of Myler features. USEF 2012 and FEI 2016 Dressage legal.Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars.It is curved more than a traditional mullen, giving more room for the horse’s tongue under the bit. The MB 32 is a Myler alternative to the traditional mullen.
