The Baucher bit is known for its stable position in the horses mouth. The side cheeks ensure that the bit sits calmly and evenly, leading to a consistent connection between the riders hand and the horse. When the reins are taken up, the Baucher bit tilts and acts towards the corners of the mouth, which can lead to improved collection.

The single broken mouthpiece lies more steadily in the mouth than a double-jointed mouthpiece and distributes pressure across the horses bars, while the center joint reduces pressure on the tongue.
