BD legal bits!!!!!

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Right here goes!!!

I am looking in the spring to doing some dressage with Kia. Now I ride him normally with a loopring snaffle which I know isnt BD legal.

Now I was going to buy him a half and half sweet iron and steel snaffle (the sweet iron is in the middle near the joint) but I was told this isnt BD legal.

Now when I checked their website there was a mention in page four of the equipment rules that mentiond that mixed metals were permitted.

So would this be legal?? It is a mix of metals but I dont understand how sweet iron isnt legal but other mixes are??

Or am I interpreting that wrong???

Just looked through and it seems that mixed metals were allowed. I didn't think they were!! I'd ring BD in the new year and ask... or if you're entering somewhere, ring the organisers and double check..

I know the Myler sweet iron loose ring is BD
