CalmRide Hunter D-Ring Snaffle
The Calmride mouthpiece is designed to provide comfort and tongue relief for horses with sensitive tongues or other oral issues.
This stainless steel bit features a curved mouthpiece with a barrel in the center. This design allows extra space for the horse's tongue, facilitates better gliding over the tongue as reins are engaged and preventing it from being pinched or pressed against the roof of the mouth.
The bit has medium flexibility in the barrel joint. The cannons of the bit move independently which allows for a clearer signal between the rider and the horse.
The copper rollers on the barrel create an additional sensation when reins are engaged and the bit slides up the tongue which should increase responsiveness without adding harsh pressure points.
The fixed D-ring cheeks offer clear directional guidance through subtle contact with the sides of the face, making this an excellent choice for jumping and flatwork. D-ring cheekpieces are particularly popular in the Western and Hunter rings.

Is this bit right for my horse?
Riders often choose this bit for:
- Horses with a thick tongue: the barrel link removes the pinch of a single joint and makes tongue space
- Low palates (slim 10mm profile)
- Horses that feel dull to the tongue aids: the copper rollers on the barrel link give a snappier reaction
- Head tossing linked to palate interference: the barrel sits low
- Horses that chew or grab the bit with their teeth (metal, non-ported)
The D-ring gives the stability of a fixed ring with a wide, steady contact area.
