Bits permitted for dressage phase of FEI eventing
The FEI have confirmed that the mouthpieces and cheek pieces as listed under Annex A of the FEI Eventing Rules for 2020, are the only ones permitted for the dressage phase of FEI competition.
The FEI have also confirmed that the diagrams of permitted mouthpieces do not include any with a plate, therefore mouthpieces with a plate are not allowed during the dressage phase of FEI eventing competition.
There has been no change to the permitted mouthpieces or bits for National classes at British Eventing affiliated competitions; full details of permitted bits can be found under rule 7.19.6 of the 2020 BE Rules and Members’ Handbook.
