Some people need an elementary physics class, as do many winter drivers…
Leverage: the action of a lever, a rigid bar that pivots about one point and that is used to move an object at a second point by a force applied at a third.
(A Baucher only has 2 of 3 required points for leverage)
Apologies for snark, this particular misconception drives me batty[/QUOTE]
This drives me crazy as well. So many show people don’t have the first clue about things like this, my guess is that the majority of people at the horse show won’t even know what a Baucher is. You also see people putting it on their horse upside down like a tom thumb…
I liked the baucher a lot on my fussy mare, but never showed hunters in it.
