The Beris Double Jointed Baucher Bit is designed for riders seeking enhanced comfort and stability for their horses, specifically those prone to fidgeting or pulling on the reins. By utilizing a double-jointed design that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, it offers a gentle communication method; however, users should note that as a fixed-cheek bit, it requires careful initial fitting to ensure the mouthpiece rests correctly without excessive tension.

The Baucher cheekpiece is fixed, which provides stability and prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth, offering a more consistent feel for the horse.
No, size must be based on the individual horse's mouth width. Always measure your horse's bit size accurately before purchasing.
The double joint prevents the 'nutcracker' effect found in single-jointed bits, reducing pressure on the roof of the mouth and the bars.
You should check your specific discipline's rulebook, as bit regulations vary significantly between dressage, show jumping, and eventing.
Clean and dry it thoroughly, then store it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture accumulation on the joints.
Adjust the cheekpieces on your bridle to raise the bit slightly; it should just touch the corners of the mouth without creating deep folds.
Check that the bit size is appropriate for the horse's mouth width and ensure the joints are not being pinched; consider checking the horse's teeth for sharp points.
To set up this bit, ensure the cheekpiece arms are positioned correctly with the smaller rings facing toward the bridle cheekpieces. The mouthpiece should sit comfortably in the corners of the mouth without creating wrinkles, as an overly tight fit can cause friction. Regular maintenance involves rinsing the bit after every use to remove saliva and feed debris. Once a week, perform a deep clean using a soft sponge and mild soap, inspecting the joints to ensure they remain fluid and free of debris. Always check for signs of wear or sharp edges before each ride to maintain the safety and comfort of your horse.
