Hanging Cheek Bits

Hanging cheek bits, also known as Baucher bits, feature a fixed cheekpiece design with a small upper ring for the cheekpiece and a lower ring for the rein. This creates a stable position in the horse’s mouth and helps reduce movement compared to a loose ring bit. The fixed design can provide a more consistent feel, while the slight poll pressure created by the upper cheekpiece can encourage balance and responsiveness. Available with a range of mouthpiece options, including single jointed and double jointed, hanging cheek bits are a popular choice for everyday riding, schooling and competition.
