My horse really likes this bit. He has very sensitive lips and this bit is comfortable for him. It's had to find a mild bit in a 6.5 inch size for my Irish horse who is almost 18 hands.
I had tried many bits with my boy as he's very picky with the mouthpiece. He seemed happiest in a traditional Waterford full cheek but he still had some resistance. I didn't feel like I'd found the right one yet so I decided to try Agador's ComfortShape full cheek. I can't believe the difference! From the very first ride he's been so happy in it. He's soft and light in the hand without any of the resistance he had with the traditional Waterford. I've officially found "the one".
My young horse has a low palate and thick tongue, and no matter what bit I tried, he would not accept a steady contact. He would evade by curling behind the contact. I initially tried the baucher comfort bit, which he liked, but started leaning heavily on it. This calm blue eggbutt snaffle has been game changer. He is accepting contact happily and is no longer curling behind it. Thank you for making such wonderful bits!
This bit has been a great choice for my mare. She tends to be sensitive, and she immediately seemed comfortable and willing in this bit. I noticed improved acceptance of the contact, smoother transitions, and a calmer overall feel. It’s well-balanced, nicely finished, and did exactly what I was hoping it would. I’m very pleased with how well my mare goes in it and would confidently recommend it.
I’ve had my horse for two years now and tried several different bits on him to find one he was truly happy with. From a variety of Winderen bits, to Fager bits, a traditional slowtwist, and everything in between. You could tell he was ok with them but didn’t really like it. So I took the leap because at this point what is one more bit… He was such a happy camper!!! This bit blends quality, thoughtful materials, and ergonomics at a really great price! Will be looking to agadors for all my future bitting needs.
I had hoped to replicate the bit my mare had been training in before I purchased her. The previous owner had ridden her in a "comfort-wave" bit from your company. When I placed my order that bit was not available in the 5" size we required. Looking at your photo I thought the BarRelief design closest. My mare doesn't seem to agree. She was very fussy in the BarRelief design and chewed it mercilessly. Concern for her teeth makes me reluctant to try again. I bought 2 bits and would like to return the unused one.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, we truly appreciate it. We’re sorry to hear that the BarRelief bit wasn’t the right match for your mare. Every horse has unique preferences, and especially when they’ve been going well in a specific design, even a small change can feel very different to them.
Your concern for her comfort and teeth is completely understandable, and we’re glad you listened to what she was telling you. Regarding the unused bit, we’d be more than happy to help with a return, we have reached out to you on your mail ID regarding the same.
We’re grateful you chose Agador’s and hope we can assist you in finding the right solution for your mare in the future.
My horse seems to like this bit a lot, and he is steadier in the contact than before. I think the mouthpiece design is especially helpful for horses like mine with low palates. Furthermore, shipping and customs from Canada to the U.S were smooth and quick! Would definitely recommend this but and the Agador’s company.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that your horse is feeling steadier in the contact and that the mouthpiece design is working well for his low palate, that’s exactly what it’s intended to support.
We’re also glad the shipping and customs process from Canada to the U.S. was smooth and quick. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing Agador’s, and we wish you and your horse many comfortable, confident rides ahead!
So far I really like this bit! I was looking for something a bit softer for my horse. He seems to accept it well and goes into the contact nicely.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re glad to hear your horse is accepting the bit well and going comfortably into the contact. Finding something softer that still encourages a steady, relaxed connection can make such a difference, and we’re happy this one is working for you. We appreciate you choosing Agador’s and wish you many happy rides ahead!
Received the bit, haven't tried it yet, the center peice is different than the picture, the picture looks like it's a roller, that is not what I received.
Hi Carol, sorry to hear that. Looking through your order notes we noticed that you've actually ordered the dressage legal version which indeed does not have a roller and has a cannon width of 12mm instead of 10mm and left a review on the regular version with the roller.
You are of course free to exchange the product if that is not what you intended.
I have a young OTTB who is very sensitive and picky about his bits. He was going in a CalmBlue full cheek for a while and he loves it, but as he got stronger we needed stronger breaks. I switched him to this CalmBlue baucher and he goes much more forward into the contact and is more eager to stretch into the bit. Will continue to use Agadors for their wonderful high quality but affordable bits!
Thank you so much for sharing this, we’re thrilled to hear about your OTTB’s progress!
Young, sensitive horses can be so particular about their bits, so it means a lot to know the CalmBlue Baucher helped him feel confident, forward, and happy to stretch into the contact as he’s getting stronger. That’s exactly the balance we aim for: effective communication without compromising comfort.
We’re grateful for your trust in Agador’s and are so happy to be part of your horse’s journey. Wishing you and your OTTB many smooth, successful rides ahead!
My horse tended to be OK with it, but I have a feeling we will go back to the Blue Baucher that I bought from you. A rider knows her horse. This has nothing to do with the beautiful quality of your bits.
Thank you so much for your lovely message and for trusting our bits for your horse. You’re absolutely right, no one knows a horse better than their rider, and we fully support you in choosing what feels best for your partner.
We’re glad to hear you’ve been happy with the quality, and it’s wonderful that the Blue Baucher has been such a good match. If you ever want to explore options or have questions about fit or function, we’re always here to help.
I really appreciate the free returns since it can sometimes be difficult to shop for someone else and get the right size and style! ("someone else" being your picky horse!) I am looking forward to my size exchange to see how my mare responds to her new bit. :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! We totally understand how tricky it can be to shop for our wonderfully particular horses. We're glad our free returns make the process a little easier.
We hope the exchanged size is the perfect fit, and we can’t wait for you to see how your mare responds to her new bit. If you need anything along the way, we’re always here to help.
Have gone through many expensive bits and this is the only one he truly loves! For once he likes a more affordable product lol He used to lock on to one side of the bit and head tilt and suck back. Now he’s quite in the head, seeks the contact and is super light and stable in the hand. We love it!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful update! We’re thrilled to hear your fussy boy has finally found a bit he truly loves, especially after trying so many others. It’s amazing to hear how much more balanced, light, and willing he feels in the contact now.
We’re honoured to be part of his progress, and we're so glad the more affordable option ended up being the winner! If you ever need support or have questions as you continue his journey, we’re always here to help.
I bought this bit for my 4 year old mare and it’s working out great. She’s steady in her light connection with my hand. Unfortunately it hasn’t solved the problem of her sticking her tongue out, but that’s not the fault of the bit. I like it so much I tried it on my sensitive 5 year old gelding and will likely order another for him.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're really glad to hear the bit is working well for your 4-year-old mare and helping her find a steady, light connection. Every horse is a little different, so it's great to know you’ve also had a positive result with your sensitive 5-year-old gelding.
While tongue habits can be tricky and often unrelated to the bit itself, we’re always here if you’d like to chat through options or adjustments that might help. Thank you again for your trust in our products, we appreciate you!
I received a new bit in the mail today from Agador's. I am absolutely astonished by the incredible customer service, they just read my review, looked up my order and sent me a new bit- wow. I'm thrilled because my horse loves this bit. Fortunately I still have the bit I had trouble with and Agador's has asked me to reach out with a video so they can have the opportunity to take a look at it. Amazing customer service and great bits.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful follow-up and kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that your replacement bit arrived and that your horse loves it, that always means the world to us.
We appreciate you giving us the chance to take a closer look at the original bit, and your willingness to share a video helps us continue improving our products. Providing attentive, human-centered customer care is something we take pride in, so knowing you felt supported really means a lot.
Thank you again for your trust and for being part of the Agador’s community! We're always here if you ever need anything.
It is the first bit that I have found that fits my Welsh/Arab cross perfectly. She has always had a busy mouth, chopping on her bits. The change to this bit resulted in an immediate change. She is totally comfortable, mouth is closed and quiet. I wish they had a line of western bits as well.
Thank you so much for sharing this, what a wonderful transformation!
We’re thrilled to hear that the bit fits your Welsh/Arab cross so well and that it helped her settle her mouth right away. Finding the right fit for busy-mouthed horses can be such a challenge, so it’s amazing to hear she’s now feeling comfortable, quiet, and relaxed.
And thank you for the suggestion! A western line is something we’d love to explore in the future, and feedback like yours helps us shape what comes next.
Wishing you both many more happy, harmonious rides ahead!
The Baucher snaffle fits perfect. It lays in my horses mouth comfortably and she like the taste of the sweet iron. I have had a difficult time finding a bit she is comfortable with and responds so softly. Thank you for a great bit at an affordable price.
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We’re thrilled to hear that the Baucher snaffle has been such a good fit for your horse, comfort and softness in the contact make such a difference, especially when you’ve been searching for the right bit. The sweet iron taste is a favourite for many horses, so we’re glad she’s enjoying it too!
Thank you for choosing our bits and for sharing your experience. Wishing you both many soft, happy rides ahead!
Well made and great price! Comparable to Myler bits, but alot less expensive!
Thank you so much for your feedback!
We’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with the quality and value of the bit. We work hard to offer well-made products without the premium price tag, so it means a lot to hear you find it comparable to higher-end options.
Wishing you and your horse many great rides ahead!
I have been so thrilled with the products and customer service from Agadors. Navigating the preferences of an opinionated and new to me young mare, I reached out to Agadors to help me make a decision. Their guidance and their return policy gave me confidence in my decision and my horse is very happy! The quality, price, and size range is superb!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
We’re delighted to hear that both you and your young mare are happy with the bit, and it means even more knowing our guidance helped you feel confident in choosing the right one for her. Navigating preferences (especially with opinionated mares!) can be tricky, so we’re always here to help.
We truly appreciate your kind words about our quality, pricing, and size range. Thank you for trusting Agadors, wishing you and your mare many happy, harmonious rides ahead!
Absolutely love this bit for my mare. She seeks the contact and her mouth is super quiet.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
We’re thrilled to hear your mare is seeking the contact and feeling so settled in this bit, a quiet, relaxed mouth is exactly what we love to see. So glad it’s been such a good match for her!
Wishing you both many more happy rides ahead!
Quality bit and my horse seems very pleased with it. Soft enough to keep him happy but the shape keeps him from leaning on me.
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We’re really happy to hear that the bit is keeping your horse comfortable while also giving you the feel and balance you need. It’s wonderful when the right combination of softness and shape comes together like that!
Wishing you both many great rides ahead!
I bought 2 of these bits, a 5" and 4 3/4". My horse definitely likes the action of the bit and we've been using the 4 3/4" for our dressage work. Unfortunately the cheek piece has completely locked up, the joint is frozen. I like the action of the bit but I can't afford to replace it every 6 months.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, we’re really glad to hear your horse likes the feel and action of the bit, but we’re truly sorry about the issue you’ve experienced with the cheek piece locking up. That definitely shouldn’t happen, and we understand how frustrating it is, especially with equipment you use regularly.
We’d love the chance to look into this for you and make it right. Could you please reach out to us directly with your order details and a photo or video of the issue? We’ll review it right away and arrange a suitable resolution.
Thank you again for letting us know, your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate you giving our bits a try.
Our Pony loves her new bit. She was salavating with it in her mouth and we have never seen her that relaxed before. She loves the sweet iron.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
We’re thrilled to hear your pony is loving her new bit, that level of relaxation (and happy salivating!) is exactly what we hope for with the sweet iron. It’s wonderful to know it’s made such a positive difference for her.
One of the best bag for your buck bits! I love the mouth piece
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the mouthpiece, and even happier that you feel it’s one of the best bits for the price. We truly appreciate your support!
