The Hanging Cheek, also known as a Baucher, is a stable snaffle cheekpiece featuring smaller rings above the main bit rings. The bridle cheekpieces attach to these upper rings, while the reins are attached to the larger rings at the level of the mouthpiece.

Contrary to a common misconception, a Baucher bit does not create leverage or additional poll pressure. When rein contact is applied, the bit lifts slightly in the mouth and the tension on the bridle cheekpieces may actually decrease.

The attachment to the upper ring helps the bit remain relatively still and stable in the horse's mouth. This can be beneficial for horses that are inconsistent in the contact, have sensitive mouth corners or simply prefer a more stable bit. Horses that tend to carry their neck high and find it difficult to come forward into the contact may also appreciate the action of a Baucher bit.

The exact action of the bit will always also depend on the type of mouthpiece used.

Inno Sense Flexi Soft bits are made from an elastic synthetic material and are highly flexible, giving the mouthpiece a particularly gentle action. Despite its flexibility, the Inno Sense Flexi Soft is very strong and durable thanks to its flexible stainless steel core.

Bits from the Inno Sense collection can be used for all horses but are particularly suitable for young horses and horses with sensitive mouths. The synthetic material used is FDA approved, meaning that it is non-toxic and does not contain plasticisers. Horses ridden with an Inno Sense mouthpiece often follow the rider's hand easily and tend to accept the bit quickly. The Inno Sense Flexi Soft is less suitable for very strong horses.

TRUST Equestrian bits are designed, developed and handmade in the Netherlands. A team of technical professionals works on their production every day. Each bit is manufactured with great care using high-quality materials, allowing TRUST to maintain high standards of quality and quality control. Every design carefully considers the balance between shape, material and weight. TRUST bits are slightly curved to follow the anatomy of the horse's mouth more closely. This anatomical shape allows the bit to sit comfortably in the mouth and helps distribute pressure more evenly. With a wide choice of mouthpieces, cheekpieces and materials, TRUST Equestrian offers numerous combinations to help find a suitable bit for every horse.
