CalmBlue Full Cheek Snaffle

Sale price$79.90 CAD

Size:
Only 1 unit left

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.

This bit features a full cheek that offers more lateral control, particularly through the turns and is well suited for young horses seeking stability and support.

Mouthpiece thickness: 10mm

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.

Calmblue Mouthpiece

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, minimises any pinching and redistributes pressure away from the center of the tongue that many bits with classic link designs create.

Full Cheek Cheekpiece

The Full Cheek Bit is designed to provide lateral stability and precise steering, making it ideal for young or green horses, as well as those needing extra guidance. The extended cheeks prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth, enhancing rein aids for better directional control. It can be used with or without keepers—when used with keepers, it maintains a more fixed position, while without keepers, it allows more movement in the mouth. As a direct-action bit, it does not apply poll pressure, making it a suitable choice for horses that respond best to clear and consistent rein aids.

Sweet Iron

Sweet iron is a blue iron alloy designed to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation. As it rusts, it develops a patina that enhances flavor, which many horses find appealing. While sweet iron promotes a moist mouth, it does wear over time and requires maintenance. To care for it, wipe the bit after use to prevent excessive rust buildup, store it in a dry place when not in use, and scrub gently with a cloth or mild abrasive if excessive rust forms.

Great bit for the money

I bought this bit because I thought my standard French Link might be putting too much pressure on my young TB's tongue, and it's been a huge help! He's much more consistent in the contact and also much straighter through his shoulders/body despite my other bit also being a full cheek. Would 10/10 recommend.

A "Just Right" bit!

This is the exact bit I was looking for to jump my developing 6 yo. Stability for turning without taking away from pace, while encouraging softness. And, bonus, it's affordable! Thanks, Agadors!

Nice bit

My horse and I both like this bit. I had him in a similar bit that was too big. My trainer recommended this bit. I measured and sized down, and he seems very happy with it.

No Teefs? No Problems!

My gelding had his front teeth extracted due to EOTRH, leaving his already thick tongue to sit more forward in his mouth, making the bit he'd been in for over a decade fit differently. As soon as I realized that his usual lozenge link wasn't comfortable anymore, I looked for an alternative that had a good curved shape, but wasn't overly solid feeling, and if it was a "sweet" material like the old bit that would be a bonus. That brought me to this one, and it's perfect! Pony is much more comfortable, seeking the contact, but not leaning on the bit like he does in a traditional mullen mouth. This bit, as well as the pelham with this mouthpiece he goes in with his lesson kids, is beautifully made, rivaling many of the $$$$$ brands, and the customer service is impeccable to boot! I recommend the company to all my friends, and will not hesitate to purchase from them again.
