The Aster Gentle Curve Titanium Double Jointed Baucher is designed for a softer, more comfortable contact, with smooth contours that encourage relaxation without the nutcracker action🩵

Ideal for sensitive horses, those reluctant to soften, showing tension through the jaw or excessive tongue activity, or requiring relief from pressure on the bars, tongue, poll or TMJ.

The Baucher design helps reduce poll pressure, making it a considered choice for horses experiencing changes in the contact or needing a more sympathetic feel.

Tackling the Minefield of Bitting: The Golden Snaffle Range 🫶🏽

While bits may look similar, differences in mouthpiece design and articulation can significantly affect how they feel and function.

The Aster Golden Snaffle Range offers options to suit different needs, from the Contour single-jointed snaffle for horses requiring stability, to the Confidence lock-up snaffle for those needing a more consistent contact, and the Gentle double-jointed snaffle for horses requiring a different pressure distribution.

Understanding your horse’s conformation, tongue sensitivity and contact tendencies is key to selecting the most suitable bit.

Titanium is lightweight and neutral in taste, offering a clean, responsive feel.

Golden Copper promotes comfort and softness, helping your horse find a consistent connection.
