Dressage legal bit? KK / Neue Schule

[MagicMelon]

I know these 2 do the same sort of version - the Ultra one, with the lozenge in the middle.

Are these dressage legal? I didnt think non-usual-metal was allowed?

And in your opinion - which is best? KK or Neue Shule? I feel my boy has gotten a little bit too used to his usual basic Myler and feel he could do with something else and have heard good things about this.

Yes definately both dressage legal

Yes both very much legal - I have the neue schule lozenge bit for my lad and he is lovely and accepting of it, i'd certainly recommend it.

Strangely he didn't get on with a KK, but I know others who do and think its fab.

The KK lozenge used to have a couple of bumps where it linked together which causes some horses discomfort because the two bumps make two pressure spots on the tongue. I had my ID x TB in one for 3 years and she used to snatch at the bit quite a lot. Swapped her into a NS on the advice of my instructor and, as if by magic, the head snatching stopped straight away.
Think that KK have changed the design to solve this problem but I prefer the NS anyway (although I now use a flexibit instead!)

Strangely I had the opposite problem - started youngster in an NS but she always fussed with it too much - swapped to a KK ultra and problem solved.......
