This CalmBlue Dressage mouthpiece version features an innovative tapered design that combines FEI/EC compliance with our signature tongue relief system. The mouthpiece maintains 12mm diameter at the cheeks to meet international competition requirements while tapering to 10mm in the center - perfect for horses needing more tongue space without sacrificing stability.
This intelligent design offers the best of both worlds: the thicker cheek sections provide enhanced stability while the slimmer center portion preserves the anatomical comfort that made the original CalmBlue so popular.
Crafted in sweet iron with our signature blue coating, this bit naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant taste that encourages acceptance. The fixed copper inlay in the barrel (non-rotating to ensure competition legality) maintains FEI/USEF/EC compliance while enhancing the taste profile.
The eggbutt bradoon cheekpiece allows for greater stability, encouraging horses that can be inconsistent or distracted by movement to become more steady in the contact. The smaller sized ring is suitable for use in a double bridle.
Features:
- Competition-legal 12mm cheeks tapering to 10mm center
- Fully compliant within USEF/FEI/EC
- Fixed copper inlay
- Independent cannon movement
- Sweet iron construction
- Bradoon cheekpiece suitable for double bridles
Note: Sweet iron bits naturally oxidize over time, with the blue coating developing a brown/grey patina. This process releases the pleasant taste many horses prefer.
Is this bit right for my horse?
Riders often choose this bit for:
- Horses with a thick, fleshy tongue that need tongue space
- Low palates, thanks to the slim tapered profile
- Dressage riders needing a legal thin bit: 12mm at the cheekpiece tapering to 10mm solves the thin-bit and legality conflict
- Head tossing linked to palate interference: the barrel link sits low and does not rotate up into the palate
- Horses that chew or grab the bit with their teeth (metal, non-ported)
Worth knowing:
- Sweet iron cannons develop a warm taste that encourages salivation and a softer connection
- This bit will rust, and it needs to: the surface patina is what creates the warm, sweet taste. Do not submerge it in water or expose it to excessively humid or moist environments, and always wipe it dry after use to ensure longevity and function
The eggbutt keeps the bit still. A good match for busy-mouthed horses and those that prefer stability.
