Bombers drop cheek (hanging cheek / baucher) Waterford Cable Barrel

Bombers Drop Cheek Waterford Cable Barrel - Brand new!  The drop cheek cheekpiece is also called a hanging cheek or baucher.

The Bombers Drop Cheek Waterford Cable Barrel is designed for horses that become heavy in the contact while still requiring a mouthpiece that encourages softness and responsiveness. Combining the stability of the Drop Cheek with the unique flexibility of the Waterford Cable Barrel, this bit helps prevent horses from leaning or fixing against the rider's hand without being unnecessarily severe.

The Drop Cheek (Hanging Cheek) offers a stable position in the horse's mouth and applies mild poll pressure, encouraging relaxation, balance, and a more consistent contact. The fixed cheek design also provides clear lateral guidance, making it an excellent option for flatwork, jumping, and eventing.

The Waterford Cable Barrel mouthpiece features Bombers' flexible cable construction with multiple smooth links and a central barrel. The cable allows the mouthpiece to wrap comfortably around the horse's tongue and bars, creating a highly adaptable feel that discourages horses from taking hold or leaning. The central barrel enhances tongue relief while promoting relaxation and acceptance of the bit.

Made with Bombers' signature Sweet Iron mouthpiece and durable stainless steel cheeks, this bit naturally encourages salivation for improved comfort and communication.
