The Aster Gentle Golden Baucher combines our Gentle mouthpiece with the stable, supportive action of a Baucher cheek, creating a quiet and considered bit for horses that benefit from a consistent feel in the mouth. The Gentle mouthpiece has been designed to provide a broad, comfortable bearing surface over the entire mouth, helping to distribute pressure rather than concentrating it over a smaller area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key feature of the Baucher cheek is the way the mouthpiece is suspended from a separate upper cheek attachment. This changes the relationship between the bit and bridle and is designed to reduce backward drag through the mouth and jaw compared with cheek arrangements where the mouthpiece is pulled more directly backwards by the rein. For horses that are sensitive through the jaw, TMJ or poll region, reducing this backward component can create a more comfortable, less restrictive feel and may help the horse remain softer through the jaw and poll. The fixed Baucher cheek also provides greater stability than a loose ring, holding the mouthpiece in a more consistent position and providing additional lateral guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Golden mouthpiece offers a warm, tactile material that many horses find pleasant in the mouth and is designed to encourage acceptance and salivation. The result is a soft, stable snaffle designed not only around what happens inside the mouth, but around how forces from the bit are transmitted through the jaw, bridle, poll and surrounding structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAY PARTICULARLY SUIT HORSES THAT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Are sensitive through the jaw, TMJ or poll region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Appear uncomfortable with backward pressure or drag from the rein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Tend to brace through the jaw or poll against the contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Prefer a stable, quiet mouthpiece with minimal unnecessary movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Become unsettled or busy with loose-ring bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Are sensitive in the mouth and don't respond well to concentrated mouthpiece pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Prefer a broader, more stable area of contact over the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Need a consistent feel from the rider's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Benefit from additional lateral guidance from a fixed cheek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Tend to become tense or defensive in sharper or highly mobile mouthpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Benefit from the mouthpiece being held in a more consistent position within the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Prefer the taste and feel of Golden copper mouthpieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e DESIGN FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Aster Gentle mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Broad tongue-bearing surface designed to avoid unnecessarily concentrated pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Golden copper mouthpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Baucher cheek configuration designed to reduce backward drag through the mouth and jaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Designed with consideration for pressure and tension transmitted towards the TMJ and poll region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Stable, suspended mouthpiece position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Fixed sides providing additional lateral guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Neat upper cheek attachment for a stable connection with the bridle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Designed for horses that benefit from softness, stability and reduced backward influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e • No curb action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aster","offers":[{"title":"115mm","offer_id":56788700397908,"sku":"G-G-115-B","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125mm","offer_id":56788700430676,"sku":"G-G-125-B","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"135mm","offer_id":56788700463444,"sku":"G-G-135-B","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"145mm","offer_id":56788700496212,"sku":"G-G-145-B","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"155mm","offer_id":56788700528980,"sku":"G-G-155-B","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3453\/9348\/files\/48.png?v=1786725263","url":"https:\/\/asterhorse.com\/products\/aster-gentle-golden-baucher","provider":"Aster bits ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
