The 2435 Easy Control Baucher Bit features a double-jointed mouthpiece and fixed Baucher side arms for a calm, stable bit position. Under normal contact it functions as a loose-ring snaffle; when the horse applies strong and even pressure on both reins, it temporarily behaves like a straight bar bit. This design supports refined training and helps the horse learn to yield to the hand.

Description  

The Stübben SteelTEC Easy Control Bits are transformed into a bar bit when the horse applies strong, even pressure on both reins. With a normal connection to the rider’s hand and as soon as either the horse or rider eases the pressure, the bit becomes flexible again and functions like a regular loose ring snaffle. This allows for precise yet gentle aids when needed.

Thanks to the Easy Control bit’s effect, horses often learn on their own to yield as soon as the bar effect comes into play. For this reason, Easy Control bits should be used temporarily for training purposes, with regular checks to determine whether the desired learning effect has already been achieved.

The Baucher bit is known for its stable position in the horse’s mouth. The sidebars ensure that the bit sits quietly and evenly, resulting in a consistent connection between the rider’s hand and the horse. When the reins are engaged, the Baucher bit tilts slightly and acts on the corners of the mouth, which can encourage better self-carriage. The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars.

 

Key Benefits at a Glance

Effect
When the horse applies strong forward pressure on both reins, the bit becomes a bar bit. As soon as the horse or rider gives (even on one side), the bit acts like a double-jointed loose ring snaffle.

 

Mouthpiece

  • Made of stainless steel
  • Stainless steel is durable, tasteless, and odorless

 

Which Horses Is This Bit Especially Suited For?

  • Horses that become strong in certain situations (e.g., out hacking, while jumping, etc.)
  • Horses that tend to pull hard toward jumps
  • Horses that tend to drop too low in the contact
  • Horses that become overly cautious with leverage bits or similar equipment

 

Important Note on Proper Use
Any bit can cause discomfort if used roughly or incorrectly. An incorrect size can also cause pain for the horse. If you have questions about sizing or how to properly adjust the bit, feel free to contact us or read more about choosing the right size and here about correct adjustment in the horse's mouth.

Please note: Easy Control bits should be changed regularly to evaluate whether the intended training effect is taking place.

Size Guide  

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions  

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance  

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse.
Because this bit transitions between snaffle and bar effect, it must be used with sensitive, balanced hands. For best results ensure the bit is fitted correctly and the rider uses temporary training sequences rather than continuous correction. Riders should monitor whether the learning effect has been achieved and consider switching to a regular snaffle once progress is made.
