I am looking for a dressage legal alternative for Pickle, considering going to do a few walk and trot tests on him. He loves his waterford, He hates normal single link snaffles and didn't like a french link. He makes him really tense and start chucking his head. Came up with these as possible options, he is used to a lozenge as for hacking he is ridden in a NS universal

So are these dressage legal


Bit 1


Bit 2

Bit 3

These are just possible ideas, suggestions also welcomed.
 
Not sure about the first one as it has a copper lozenge... second is fine I think, third is definitely not dressage legal because of the loops on the rings.
If he doesn't like the flat French link but goes well in a lozenge, why not try a bog-standard stainless steel loose ring lozenge snaffle?

bit one isn't, for dressage the bit (except rings) needs to be all the same metal. bit two is (randomly, I just bought one of them from that ebay site earlier). not sure about bit 3, even if you use it as a normal snaffle but because you can move the reins it might not be legal.

Did consider that but for some reason can't find one in 6inch that arnt like £50 neule schule ones! ideas?
 
bit 1 isn't because of the copper lozenge you are only allowed one type of metal for each bit
bit 2 is fine (i use one of these to compete my horse in both affil. & un affill. dressage)
bit 3 is a no (i think its because of the different combinations offered from this bit)
