Divas? Some legal bit help please!

[HayleyUK]

I ride my pony currently in a Dutch gag which is fantastic for her when jumping because she can be sharp. However, its not BD legal. I've tried a loose ring snaffle and she has zero respect for it, she runs through the hand and won't accept it and soften unless we get into a full scale war over it and eventually she'll soften a bit.

I couldn't be bothered to change my bit yesterday (naughty I know) so did some dressage work in her gag & she was so much more willing to soften and work forward into my hand without chucking her head & running through my hand.. result! Except BD say no.

Can anyone suggest anything similar that is legal?
I'm thinking a wilkie snaffle maybe, is this BD legal?

Thanks guys, determined to crack this with her!

Try the dressage legal meyler bit , I have found them very good and you can try before you buy
