BUSSE Snaffle Bit KAUGAN 18 mm - A Calmer, More Comfortable Ride for Your Horse

The BUSSE Snaffle Bit KAUGAN 18 mm is a solid, single-jointed bit designed for riders who want clear, gentle rein communication with their horse. The Kaugan mouthpiece is known for improved acceptance and encourages saliva production, helping nervous or bit-shy horses settle more easily.

All connecting links are matched precisely to the bit size and thickness, while the stainless steel rings provide lasting durability for daily use in the arena, out on the trail, or at competitions.

FAQ:

How do I find the right bit width for my horse?
Place two fingers comfortably on top of each other in your horse's mouth. If they fit easily, a bit thickness of 16 or 18 mm usually works well. For precise measurement, use a bit-width gauge.

Why is Kaugan especially suitable for sensitive horses?
Kaugan was specifically developed to improve bit acceptance and stimulate saliva production, supporting a calmer, more relaxed contact – particularly helpful for bit-shy horses.

Which way round should the bit be buckled?
When fitted correctly, the BUSSE logo sits on the horse's left side, with the hollow side of the bit facing the throat.

Warning/safety information

Warning/safety instructions for bits

A bit should have the correct width for the horse's mouth, which is measured on the horse in advance. The BUSSE bit width gauge is suitable for this.

The choice of the right type of bit is individual and depends on many factors - such as the horse's level of training, its mouth shape and sensitivity, and the rider's hand. Therefore, it makes sense to try out dentures.

When strapping in the bit, make sure that it is strapped in correctly: the BUSSE logo is on the left side of the horse's head, with the hollow side of the bit pointing towards the throat and the other side towards the mouth outlet . (If the bit is correctly positioned in front of you, you can read the size label on the right shank the right way up - it is not upside down.)

It is important that the bit fits correctly into the bit straps of the bridle or curb is buckled. When buckled correctly using the bit straps, approx. 2-3 small wrinkles will form at the corners of the mouth.

The bit should be checked regularly for signs of wear, such as sharp edges, and replaced if necessary. Please only use the bit if it is in an appropriate condition that does not harm the horse's well-being.
