CalmBlue Hunter D-Ring Snaffle
Want a customisation or a size we currently don't carry? Pre-order a custom bit with 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.
This bit features a Hunter Style D ring cheekpiece which is a fixed cheekpiece that offers more stability. The extended bar on the cheekpiece adds support which makes it a good choice for horses that might struggle through turns.
A simple bit, it often is a good starting piece for a young horse who is beginning their training.
Mouthpiece thickness: 10mm
D-Ring Size: 70x55mm
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.

I have a thoroughbred mare with a low palate that I have struggled to find the right bit for. She loves this and goes really well. Less fussy in the mouth and moving into the contact better!
Tout va bien, il a l'aire de l'aimer !
Merci beaucoup! We're thrilled to hear everything is going well and that your horse seems to like the bit. That’s exactly what we love to hear! Feel free to keep us posted on your future adventures.
Good quality
Thank you for your kind words!
Horse loves it
LOVE this bit! Happiest my horse has ever felt in the contact.
Used to have issues with him being quite strong in the past, but he is so soft and responsive to this bit and loves it just as much as I do.
We LOVE hearing this, thank you! It’s amazing to know your horse is feeling softer, happier, and more responsive in the bit. That kind of transformation is exactly what we hope for, and we’re so glad this one has made such a difference for you both. Wishing you many more feel-good, connected rides ahead!
