Cavalon Baucher Lozenge Bit, Sweet Iron Hanging Cheek Snaffle, 5.5" — Open-Box, 5% Off

The Fold, Divided: The lozenge center breaks a single joint's fold into two smaller angles, spreading contact across the tongue and bars as the rein closes.

A Cheek That Holds It Steady: The upper ring fastens to the bridle cheekpiece, so the mouthpiece is held quiet and still. It suits a horse that fusses with a bit that moves.

Sweet Iron, Left Bare: One metal from surface to core, with the working face open to the air. It darkens as you ride it in, and that surface carries the mild sweet taste.

Forged, Then Polished by Hand: Hammer forged, then worked by hand at the lozenge links and the cheeks, where a rough edge would otherwise sit against the lip for a whole session.

Best For: The Horse That Fidgets: Flatwork with a horse that will not settle on a moving bit. Two shallower angles across the tongue, and a cheek that stays exactly where you set it.

A single joint folds into one deep angle when the rein closes. This baucher lozenge bit breaks that fold into two smaller angles, spreading the contact across the tongue and bars. The hanging cheek then holds the whole mouthpiece steady, carried by the headstall, which suits a horse that fusses with anything mobile. Hammer forged from real sweet iron, then polished by hand. The lozenge links and the cheeks take the work, because a horse that fidgets will find a rough edge long before a quiet one ever would. This is a bit built to go unremarked in the hand and in the ring. The mouthpiece is bare sweet iron with the working face left open on purpose. It darkens as you use it into a warm surface some riders call a patina, and that surface carries the mild sweet taste. Rinse and dry the bit after work and it will stay honest through years of flatwork.
