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 movement of the cannons in this bit approximately correspond to a level 1-2 mouthpiece of similar bits from other brands.
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.

Customer Reviews
the quality of this bit is incredible. It's soft and doesn't pinch, the mechanisms are perfect and I wish they made western bits! The customer service I received was outstanding.
Fits my horse well, seems to like it. Happy with the quality and affordability, would definitely buy from this company again
Both my horse and I are always happy with these bits
Love the shape and thinness for my thick tongued draft cross. He really appreciates the tongue relief.
I have a 3 year old that I bought this to try as I am experimenting with what works. He did seem to come into the bit better. This is great for when I lunge him. It is not as solid as our driving bit, so we swap it out when I may want something that he will listen to more. It is a useful training tool and I do see a little bit better use of the horse's body with it. He does seem to like it.
