Happy Mouth Copper Roller Baucher Snaffle
The Happy Mouth Copper Roller Baucher Snaffle combines the brand's soft-contact philosophy with copper elements and a roller feature to create a forgiving, acceptance-focused Baucher for horses with sensitive mouths. While it tends to trade off the durability and absolute precision of solid-metal bits for comfort—making it pricier than the simplest Korsteel options—it often outperforms harder bits for green or fussy animals by encouraging steady salivation and a softer response.
