The Buffer is a straight-bar mouthpiece with a unique forward-facing port, designed to reduce bar pressure and instead communicate gently through the tongue. Ideal for horses who drop behind the contact or resist traditional ported bits, the Buffer encourages a more stable, forward connection. Its shape offers relief for horses with low palates, promoting confidence without overloading sensitive areas.

Good for the following horses:

•        Horses that dislike any movement in the bit but won’t tolerate a traditional port
•        Horses that duck under and behind the contact
•        Horses with fleshy mouths and sensitive bars
•        Horses that grab or chew the bit
•        Horses that intermittently go above and behind the contact

 The baucher ring lifts the bit off the bars and reduces the pull on the poll and TMJ. Good for sensitive horses, horses that dislike too much bar or tongue pressure, or horses that need relief from the poll and TMJ.
