Is this BD legal with *pic*

[Madam_max]

obviously I used it without the hooks.

No I don't think it is , we use a meyer but the comfort snaffle and I know we are not allowed the one that has the slots in but we use that for show jumping.

 

[Madam_max]

Grrr pants. Does the comfort snaffle have a similar mouthpiece?

 

[carthorse]

Yes , we have a wide barrelled comfort snaffle, but I may be wrong as I am no expert.

It's not BD legal for two reasons - firstly it has hooks & secondly it has a port.

The basic comfort snaffle (02 mouthpiece) is legal as long as the sides you chose are allowed eg no hooks. The very similar looking 04 mouthpiece isn't allowed because it has a low port so be very careful that you pick up the right one!

Thanks. Soo the comfort 02 is the only BD legal one really?

Legal mouthpieces are
comfort snaffle, MB02
bristol snaffle, MB10
mullen barrel, MB32

Thanks.

Some on ebay at the moment but make sure you buy the right one

 

[Madam_max]

OK, one last question. What size do I need if she's normally 5 1/2

 

[carthorse]

I'd have still said 5 1/2" but not sure that I am correct
