Are revolver bits dressage legal?

Looking at this bit to change form a french link but not sure if it's dressage legal?

i dont *think* so, but your best bet would be to speak to BD and then email them a piccy of the bit so they can tell you for sure.

I think they are BRC legal, and I think they use the same permitted bits as BD.

this is their link

edited to add BD link http://www.britishdressage.co.uk/uploads/File/BD_Rulebook_10_ins_25-35.pdf

so I would assume they come under 2b or 2c as the central link is rounded

its the revolving part that makes me suspicious......

The revolver bits are designed to be more acceptable to the shape of a horse’s mouth, providing a uniform pressure on the tongue. This helps ensure a more natural feel and flexibility by following the contours of the mouth. The rider can also focus on each rein independently giving the opportunity to fine-tune your schooling.

I think they are nice bits, and wouldn't be classed as gadgety IMO. I hope they are legal, as I haven't heard otherwise and I do dressage in mine

Well I've still not managed to get confirmation of whether or not they are legal - the manufacturer told me I'd have to contact BD - BD said they were unsure and could I send the bit to them to look at - I haven't actually bought it yet as if it's not legal there is no point! Grrrr!
