Special Edition: 16mm Calmblue Eggbutt Dressage

The CalmBlue 16mm dressage snaffle features our innovative tongue relief design in a thicker, more traditional diameter that many horses find confidence-inspiring. This USEF/FEI legal version maintains the signature anatomical shaping that has made the CalmBlue line so popular, while offering more surface area for horses that prefer a fuller mouthpiece.

The barrel-style center allows independent movement of the cannons (corresponding to level 1-2 flexibility) while redistributing pressure more evenly across the tongue compared to traditional link designs. The 16mm thickness provides excellent stability while the anatomical curvature ensures comfort.

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) adds to the appealing taste profile while maintaining USEF/FEI compliance.

The eggbutt cheeks provide the perfect balance of stability and subtle communication - ideal for young horses or those transitioning from thicker starter bits into more refined contact.

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.
