Why can’t I find this bit?

[Rowreach]

I’m looking for a double jointed Baucher with a half moon link. I can find every other mouthpiece under the sun with hanging cheeks, and half moon links with any other cheeks you can imagine, but not a combination of the two.

I need this, but without the bottom part :


If anyone can find one please let me know

It's not identical but in the absence of a perfect match, would this be any good?

Segundo Baucher - The Horse Bit Shop

brings a light lever action that will get the horse to take a better contact and to be in a better working attitude. The high port is perfectly adapted so the horse can correctly place its tongue and not feel any pressure on the roof of its mouth. The horse automatically breathe better.

Any good?

Sadly nope not quite.

If you can spare that bit get the bottom part cut off and the cut smoothed down. We have done this with some bits.

It seems odd they don't exist, given both cheeks and link are common and otherwise available I'm trying to avoid massive spending at this point. I used to get bits made about 25 years ago, when there wasn't such a wide range of them out there. Can't remember where I got them though, I think via a saddlery so it could have been anywhere.

Buy another pelham and chop that down?

It may come to that. Typical I’ve over 100 bits here and she likes that combination best

Or just ride with the top rein attached?

Could do that at home (although I still use two reins) but not competing.

I used to get the OH to cut the shanks off to create hanging cheek bits out of pelhams.

Close but I need more of a lozenge without the angles where it's linked

Is there a bit bank near you Rowreach?

We barely have a tack shop, I seem to be the main bit lender round here

Thank you, I would have to order it through a stockist and we have the grand total of two, one at the other end of NI (although handily close to another HHOer) and the other all the way down in Limerick. It's either this or send another pelham to ycbm's OH

Closest thing that I could find was this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14573295...D0RDN2&hash=item21ee5c7c54:g:NR4AAOSw-DFk4feM

This thread made me laugh when I opened it because I went looking for the exact same thing about 2 years ago for my connemara. I came to the conclusion that they just don't exist, no idea why.

I tried a full cheek version of the same mouthpiece but pony did not approve, and then went for a verbindend angled mouthpiece on a hanging cheek instead as a closeish approximation, which she went very well in so that's what we've stuck with (not that i knew what a verbindend angled mouthpiece was prior to this adventure!). Don't know if you've tried one of those on yours?

I’m glad I’m not alone!

I’ve ordered a cheap version of the verbindend which should be here on Friday and I’m praying she’ll like it. I tried the full cheek and she’s ok in it and her other half moon snaffle, but she’s SO much happier in the Pelham that I’d love to have her in the baucher.

I’d love to know why this bit doesn’t exist though.

Really?? Ooh fabulous. I’ll see how she is with the angled one this weekend and if it isn’t suitable I’ll give you a shout
