A lot of people don't know much about the boucher bit, or think that it is a very harsh bit choice. On the contrary, the boucher usually features a soft, smooth mouthpiece, much milder than a slow twist or similar. The cheekpieces give you just a tiny bit of leverage, much less than a pelham or kimberwicke. Many horses seem to prefer the french link mouthpiece, but some do better in the regular baucher without the french link. I would try both and see which the horse goes better in. If you need just a little more control than a plain snaffle, I would try the boucher for sure before going to a slow twist snaffle or something like a pelham. I have often used this bit for hacking and cross country on a horse that goes nicely in a mild snaffle in the ring for just that little extra bit of stopping power.

Great success with this bit for a sensitive horse.
