French link snaffles legal??

Southriversales · 10-23-2009, 01:11 PM

The 8th of November we are doing a few Horse Trials with different horses/ponies..anyways, everyone rides in a regular full cheek snaffle except one pony. He rides in a french link snaffle, we are going to be doing advanced green but wanted to make sure that this bit was legal. Especially for dressage, hate to get points deducted or eliminated for illegal equipment. I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything saying it was.

He rides in a reg. bridle, no drop noseband, figure 8 bridle or flash.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, that would be legal for your dressage tests!

Not only legal but a very popular option with a lot of very good trainers and riders that I know. They're a nice mild bit that I start all my babies with and go from there. Some stay in them, some don't, but it's a great place to start.

It is definately legal for dressage. I did dressage in a french link and got my bit checked. A-Okay!
