FYI - USEF released an update to dressage legal bits. It looks like several more Mylers and the Neue Schule turtle bit are now legal.

Thanks for posting that.
Thanks!
Does that mean the stubben anatomic bits are also legal? Or just specifically the turtle top?
Hey look. That’s my horse featured in the Antares bridle, now illegal. Of course, that photo wasn’t taken at a dressage show, nor did they ask to use it…
Thank you so much! Interesting to see - a few new legal bits and bridles - which is good news for those who are using them!
Ring stewards need to be paid more.

Ring stewards are unpaid in AZ, don’t know about the other states.
Come to New England. Scribes and stewards get a stipend. Not much, but something.
So the only double jointed happy mouth that’s legal is the Bridoon? Not the “normal loose ring double jointed?”
Annex A provides clarification. If the bit meets the criteria in DR 121 it is already allowed.
if the picture was taken at a show, you actually did allow in the waver you signed for entry
The photographer was my father, so no, there were no print rights released. They grabbed the photo from a google search that brings it up from when it was posted here.
the horse in the photo is very precious to me. I was quite shocked to see his photo.
