Myler Medium Baucher Bit with 04 Comfort Snaffle Low Port - 5 1/2" Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay

Find the Perfect Balance of Stability and Softness

If you have a horse with a "busy mouth" or one that struggles to stay steady in the contact, the Myler Medium Baucher (MB 04, 5.5") might be the game-changer your training program needs. This Level 2 Comfort Snaffle is specifically designed to offer a quiet, stable feel in the mouth while providing the tongue relief your horse needs to stay relaxed and responsive under pressure.

Crafted with the expert precision Myler is known for, this bit combines the fixed-cheek stability of a Baucher with the innovative MB 04 mouthpiece. It is built for the long haul, featuring high-quality stainless steel and copper inlays that encourage salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth for a better connection from the arena to the trail.

Why Riders Trust the Myler MB 04 Baucher

• Encourages Relaxation: The MB 04 mouthpiece features a 1/4" low port that provides moderate tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow more easily and stay focused on your cues rather than the bit.
• Independent Side Movement: The central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving you the precision to lift a shoulder or ask for a bend without affecting the other side of the mouth.
• Unmatched Stability: The Baucher (hanging cheek) design keeps the bit suspended and steady in the mouth, preventing it from sliding or rattling—a must-have for sensitive horses that dislike excessive bit movement.
• Promotes a Softer Mouth: Integrated copper inlays create a sweet taste that encourages salivation, helping your horse stay moist and responsive to your hand.
• Dressage Legal Versatility: This configuration is generally USEF and FEI Dressage legal, making it a top choice for both schooling at home and performing in the show ring.

Best For

The Dressage or Schooling Rider looking for a stable, quiet bit that offers tongue relief for horses transitioning out of a basic snaffle or those who resist bit movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I size the Myler Medium Baucher?

Myler bits are designed with what we call a "generous fit." For the Myler Medium Baucher 5 1/2", you should expect to see about 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's lips. This "overhang" ensures the curved bars function correctly and comfortably without pinching.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a green horse?

Absolutely. The MB 04 is an excellent choice for green horses with steady dispositions or experienced horses being re-schooled who need more tongue relief than a traditional jointed bit provides.
