Julia Sweet iron Baucher

Julia's double-jointed mouthpiece has a tongue relief, relieving constant pressure. This bit is a good option for horses that can get on and off in the contact, lean on the bit where you want a consistent contact without the horse getting unresponsive, stiff and strong.

The Roller is positioned further down than the joints to increase the point-pressure on the tongue. Creating pressure when your horse pulls or feels heavy in your hand without creating consistent pressure.

The roller also allows horses something to play with, perfect for horses who can feel numb to the contact.

Material
Sweet iron is a covering on top of a bit made of stainless steel. The purpose is to disguise the metal taste from stainless steel and create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging the horse to seek more contact and hold on to the bit. Following use, sweet iron will start to oxidize and turn brownish grey, this is to be expected.

Sweet iron is a good choice for horses who need to seek more contact with the bit.

Baucher
Baucher gives a stable, framed feeling. This sidepiece is designed to keep the mouthpiece steady. Baucher is to prefer if you have problems with wounds in the corners of the mouth or wears on the premolars (P2). The Baucher will reveal these places from constant pressure and help the horse to relax and come down/forward to the bit, keeping the horse stable and framed.

Please note, horses who are wide over the premolars/teeth may need to size up in this bit due to the upper shanks. This is because the sidepiece of the bridle is attached to the upper shank of the bit, which is placed higher up where some horses are wider than others.
