BUSSE Underlay Bit KAUGAN – calm contact when riding with a curb bit

The BUSSE Underlay Bit KAUGAN is a classic snaffle-style bit with a double-jointed mouthpiece, designed specifically for use underneath a curb bit. As an underlay bit it complements the double bridle setup and creates a calm, stable position in the horse's mouth – ideal for riders competing with two sets of reins at advanced dressage level.

The KAUGAN mouthpiece is a nickel-free metal alloy with a high copper content that supports acceptance and salivation in the horse. The elliptical centre piece and all connecting links are precisely matched to the bit size and thickness, while the stainless steel rings ensure long-lasting durability for everyday yard and competition use.

FAQ:

Can I ride with this bit on its own?
It is designed as a complement to a curb bit and is used together with it, not as a standalone bit.

What width should I choose relative to the curb bit?
The underlay bit should be at least 5 mm wider than the matching curb bit so both bits sit comfortably without pressure points.

Is KAUGAN suitable for horses with a sensitive mouth?
Yes, the nickel-free alloy reduces the risk of allergic reactions, and the high copper content encourages relaxed chewing activity.

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.
