CalmBlue Baucher Snaffle
Want a customisation or a size we currently do not carry? Pre-order using our build-a-bit tool.
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.

So far so good! He carries this bit quietly for casual riding. Haven’t taken up consistent contact much as he’s recently off the track.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear he’s going well in the bit and staying comfortable in these early days off the track. Wishing you both many happy rides ahead, and we can’t wait to hear how things go once you start taking up more consistent contact.
My horse absolutely loves this bit. He is a very sensitive Anglo Arab and has always had a tendency to curl and go behind the bit. Within 3 rides of switching to this bit he no longer does this. I’m finally starting to feel him go on the bit. I recommend this for any horse with a sensitive mouth, especially those with a low pallet.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear your sensitive Anglo Arab is thriving in this bit, it’s amazing what the right fit can do, especially for horses who tend to curl or go behind the contact. It’s fantastic that you’re now feeling him come truly onto the bit! We really appreciate the recommendation, especially for horses with a low palate and sensitive mouth. Wishing you both very happy rides!
Bought for my draft cross mare who has bitten her tongue in the past & has a very sensitive poll! So having the tongue relief design combined with the baucher designed to be negative poll pressure... it's the perfect combo! Now we just need the big girl ready to start training!
Amazing quality & customer service too!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear the combination of tongue relief and negative poll pressure is a great fit for your mare. We can’t wait for her to start training and shine. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything along the way, we’re always here to support you! Wishing you both a smooth and happy journey ahead!!!
Super happy with agadors service and the quality- bit did exactly as was expected- super happy
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with both the bit and our service - that means the world to us. It’s always our goal to deliver exactly what your horse needs. Wishing you many happy rides ahead!
Gorgeous bit but my guy seems to forever his snaffle - he may settle in this but I guess it feels different so he’s having to adjust to it
Thank you for your honest feedback! It’s totally normal for some horses to take a little time adjusting to a new feel, especially if they’ve been used to a snaffle for a while. We're hopeful that with a bit of time, your guy will settle in comfortably. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions along the way, we’re always here to help!
