The CalmRide Dressage Baucher takes the thoughtful intent behind our original CalmRide and adapts it for dressage legality under USEF and EC rules. Featuring a 12mm center that tapers to 10mm at the cheeks, this bit offers a refined profile that reduces lip interference and suits horses with limited oral space or those prone to crowding the bit.

At the heart of the bit is a single fixed copper strip - a quiet but effective element that gently encourages tongue engagement and salivation, helping horses stay focused without overwhelming them. While the original CalmRide uses two rolling copper points for a more dynamic feel, this version keeps the copper set and stable to meet competition regulations.

The loose ring cheek encourages natural movement of the bit, allowing the mouthpiece to self-center and respond fluidly to the rider's hand. This freedom is particularly helpful for horses who brace against static contact or need encouragement to chew and soften. The mobility of the ring can also increase feel and responsiveness in the rider’s hands.

Crafted from stainless steel with an embedded copper inlay, this bit is low-maintenance and highly durable.

Features:

  • 12mm mouthpiece tapered to 10mm at the cheeks for precision fit

  • Single smooth copper strip offers mild tongue activation

  • Stainless steel construction for long-term durability

  • Loose ring cheekpiece for mobility and increased responsiveness

  • Fully dressage legal under USEF and EC regulations

Mouthpiece thickness: 12mm at cheek

CalmRide Dressage Mouthpiece

The CalmRide Dressage mouthpiece version features an innovative tapered design that combines FEI/EC compliance with the U shaped tongue relief design. 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.

Loose Ring Cheekpiece

The Loose Ring cheekpiece is designed to encourage softness and responsiveness. The freely rotating rings allow the bit to move independently from the mouthpiece, preventing the horse from leaning or bracing against it. This mobility promotes relaxation, added responsiveness and a lighter connection. Loose ring is a great option for horses that need refinement in aids due to higher level work or those that can sometimes feel stiff in the connection and would benefit from more responsiveness.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a highly durable, non-rusting metal that remains smooth and neutral in taste. It is one of the most common materials for bits due to its strength and longevity. Unlike sweet iron or German silver, it does not encourage salivation, but it provides a reliable and maintenance-free option. To care for stainless steel bits, rinse with water and dry after each use, polish occasionally to maintain shine, and disinfect with mild solutions when necessary.
