CalmBlue Baucher Snaffle
The shape, the material and the features of the CalmBlue tongue relief mouthpiece are all centered around creating acceptance, calmness and enhanced communication while minimising any unnecessary pressure.
The Calmblue mouthpiece shape encourages free movement of the tongue and redistributes pressure away from the center of the tongue that many bits with classic link designs create.
The cannons of the bit move independently to create a precision in communication between the rider and the horse.
The CalmBlue mouthpiece is made of sweet iron which releases a sweet taste as it gets in contact with saliva that many horses prefer.
The copper roller on the barrel allows the bit to glide up and down the tongue as reins are engaged more freely without creating additional pressure points.
The baucher or sometimes called hanging cheekpiece creates the most stability of all our cheekpieces and pulls the bit up away from the bars.
The hanging cheek stops the bit from being pulled through the horse’s mouth and is therefore a great alternative to full cheek or even eggbutt bits for younger horses.
This cheekpiece is often used on sensitive young horses or those who prefer bits with bar relief or a negative poll pressure.
Mouthpiece thickness: 10mm
Total Cheekpiece Height: 90mm
Cheekpiece Height Top to Mouthpiece: 50mm
Please note that sweet iron bits oxidise naturally and the blue parts will over time develop a thin layer of rust and turn brown/grey. This is by design as the "rust" is what creates the taste so many horses love.

My horse has been difficult to bit and this bit he does accept! so much calmer and settled. I am sorry to see it is not dressage legal
Transitioned my gelding to a baucher, and he is so much more relaxed in the jaw with this CalmBlue Baucher Snaffle. I am hopeful that it is allowed at lower levels for USDF.
I was having a problem with my mare throwing her head and playing with her bit. This bit seems to solve all those problems! She did not lie pressure on her mouth, but this really helps with that issue also. She is no longer playing with the bit nor is she throwing her head. I really like this bit!
Been looking for a bit for my 6 year old warmblood who was started late and hates too much contact normally. He tosses his head and resists the bit as I believe regular snaffles pinched his tongue too much and he doesn’t like it. I figured I would try this one, it sits quite steady in the mouth and I even jumped in it and I had absolutely no resistance and I truly believe my gelding was calmer, one of the better rides I had….cant wait to see if it works long term. I will add that my horse is already light in the mouth and doesn’t take off so I’m not sure if it is suitable for strong headed horses
My horse has worn the bit perhaps 3x and the blue coating is wearing off. Otherwise I would have liked this bit.
