Stainless steel 3.2mm curb chain with lobster claw clasp. Classic curb chains in quality stainless steel. Steel is the hottest new metal for men's jewelry, because it's so durable and scratch-resistant, plus it's affordable.

Questions & Answers
Question : Can a Figure 8 Bridle replace a Curb Chain?
Im starting to lease a horse named Jasper... He is a cob size. His bridle is usable but I really want to get him a new one because his is not the best. He has a curb chain right now on his normal bridle but i was wondering if i can get him a Figure 8 bridle can replace it or maybe he can have both?
Answer:
Does he have to have the curb chain? If not, just switch him to the Figure 8. If you're worried, put both on, with two different sets of reins, and play with the reins to see where it puts pressure on Jasper. If you're REALLY worried, put the Figure 8 on and the curb, and ride with the curb. After a few days, put a second set of reins on the Figure 8, and start using those, reinforcing with the curb reins if you need to. After a few days, just take off the curb and don't use it at all.Chances are, put the Figure 8 on him and work him in an arena before you go out. If he does fairly well with it, don't even worry with the curb.Good Luck with your Jasper!

Question : What is Silver Curb and is it good or not?
For christmas im getting my boyfriend an mens ID Bracelet and i've found one online and im not sure about the quality of the metal as im not a mens jewellery Expert lol ;)... its advertised as 8mm Silver Curb Chain ID Men's Bracelet. Also where can i get it engraved and how much roughly will this cost?
Answer:
"Silver curb" is a common type of chain. See pictures of silver curb chains here: http://www.pasternakfindings.com/category/sterling_silver_curb_chains_paszer_chainsWhen "massive", the curb chain is very suitable for mens jewelry. An 8mm curb chain should be fine for that.Sarit Designs - Unique Handcrafted Jewelryhttp://sarit-jewelry.com

Question : What is the point of a curb chain? Can one be used with an eggbut snaffle?
I have a western headstall and have been using a snaffle bit. My horse dosen't know how to neck rein and I want to continue using a snaffle. Do I need a curb chain or strap? I mostly ride english... :)I'm not planning on teaching my horse to neck rien any time soon. And thanks mulewrangler, I know how to use wikipedia too.Thanks everyone!
Answer:
No, don't put a curb chain on your snaffle. It won't do anything other than be an annoyance. Curb chains work by the leverage of a curb bit, as the pressure is exerted via the reins on the bottom of the shank, the top bight of the shank moves and causes the curb chain to press on the horse's chin groove. So on a snaffle is won't do anything other than jingle jangle and hang there. A chin strap on a snaffle is sometime used (made of leather) to prevent the bit being pulled through the horse's mouth when you pull his head around and he has his mouth gaping open, but usually no type of chin strap or chain is used with a snaffle.(PS Mulewrangler gave a much more articulate and accurate description of the action of the curb chain - I'm also an English rider and ride the "western" horses I start in a snaffle only!)

Question : a question about direct bits and curb chains?
okay, i've never heard of this before, so i have to ask. what i do know is that curb chains are used with curb bits and go with their leverage action. Where as a direct bit works more like a nut cracker (if it's jointed).have you ever heard of a curb chain (or chain) being used with a direct bit (snaffle bits)?I thought it was rather pointless, but i wasnt totally sure and wanted to know. i dont remember reading it anywhere that you cant use the two together. but it seems pointless if you know how each type works. (i consider kimberwickes both direct and curb depending on how you use it)Thanks!
Answer:
Sounds like you have a good basic knowledge of bit mechanics down - perhaps you've seen direct bits like D rings, eggbutts or loose rings with curb straps?There are a few reasons - I use a leather "curb" strap on my d-ring bits as a bit hobble which disallows the bit to be pulled wide open and through a horse's mouth. The strap keeps the two pieces close enough to ensure their mechanical effectiveness with the mouthpiece.Also consider what you are seeing - because some appearing direct bits also have a small amount of leverage. Hooks on bits, both english and western through which you attach the headstall and reins - they look like slots in an english bit or loops in a western bit - these allow application of a small amount of leverage because they hold the reins and headstall in one place - on a loose ring bit or Dring without hooks for example, the ring can slide through the loop on headstall or reins. The reins nearly must touch the headstall on a loose rein to fully engage. They don't have to move quite as far, but can on a D Ring without hooks. Adding a strap like this to a D ring or loose ring bit also can work to assist the reins in "grabbing" the bit to cause a movement just a teeny bit too.Hope this helps - I have found a great resource on bits from the Myler brothers. At your local tack store, or on line or at their website www.mylerbitsusa.com, there's a book and DVD set for about $20. Watching the DVD then using the book for reference has brought me a TON of knowledge on how bits work. It's amazing how little people actually know about them. I bet if you purchased this, watched it, then applied the new knowledge, you'll be amazed and people will find value in your knowledge - I know they have from me.Good luck!

Question : The proper method of adjusting a cavesson bridle with a loose ring bit and a curb chain?
this is for pony club, and i need you to describe how!should i say- the bit must have 2 wrinkles, and you must fit 4 fingers below the throatlatch and 2 fingers below the chiin groove- or something like that?
Answer:
Why do you need a curb chain with a loose ring snaffle?I don't worry about what is on the outside of the horse's mouth. I feel the bars on the inside, and place the bit accordingly. The horse should take up the bit himself. My icon is in no need of wrinkles because if you put two or three wrinkles on the side, the bit is in his teeth because of the placement of his bars in relation to his lips. He puts the bit where he wants it. I have used snaffles, Kenniwicks and curb bits with him.See where the bars are and place the bit shank(s) on them. The horse will take care of the rest himself.Happy TrailsHorseFeatherZ

Question : small mens gold 9ct curb chains. for cheap?
im looking for a small men's chain for under £60. anyone know where ill get it.
Answer:
E-bay. My mum used to sell loads of gold on E-bay. To know if you're getting a good deal, find out the scrap value of gold at the minute (this is the £ per gram of gold) I am unsure what it is now, it used to be £2.70 per gram, though i recently heard that it had gone up to £5 in London. Anyway google it or something. Then when you see a chain on E-bay, convert the grams to £'s to get the scrap value and then bid whatever you want on top of that depending how the auction is going. So long as it reached it's scrap value mum used to be happy to sell. Good luck.

Question : What do curb chains do?
What do curb chains do?
Answer:
A curb bit is any bit that functions as by using the shanks as a lever, and the mouthpiece as the fulcrum. The lever pivots on the fulcrum, and the chin chain (curb chain) puts the lower jaw (mandible) into a vice, while the upper part of the lever (shank) applies counter force against the poll. So, the answer to your question is that the curb chain is necessary for the leverage forces of a curb bit to be engaged.When you pull the reins, the lever (shanks) act against the fulcrum to pivot, with the rein end moving back while the top of the shank moves forward. The poll strap tightens, the curb strap (or chain ) tightens, and the fulcrum (mouthpiece of the bit) is forced back and down, against the tongue, bars, and lips, and sometimes the roof of the mouth, while the curb chain tightens against the underside of the horse's chin (jaw) to allow the leverage forces to be engaged. It supplies a counter force for the lever and fulcrum to work. Without it, the bit would just rotate in the horse's mouth and be completely ineffective.The function of a curb chain has nothing to do with keeping a bit from sliding through the mouth, unless you apply it to the rings of a snaffle bit. In that case, it is not called a curb chain, but rather a bit hobble. A curb bit and curb chain are not designed to function as brakes, but rather as communication for highly trained horses in highly educated hands.Only a novice rider believes that the function of a curb bit is to provide brakes.

Question : How to put a horse bridle together; just the curb chain, reins, bit, etc.?
I am a 1st time horse owner and I bought my horse a bridle.It is already together, but I have no clue how to put the curb chain, tom thumb bit, and reins into it!It is an english bridle... not a fancy dressage one or anything.Thanks!
Answer:
A tom thumb is a Western rather than an English bit (its also not a suggested bit; however bit choice is not what you asked). So, are you sure, since you said your bit is a tom thumb, that you have an English bridle? Find yourself a bridle hook or door knob to hang your bridle the way it goes on the horse to put it together. HEADSTALL - goes from the bit, up behind the horse's ears, back down the other side to the bit. Hang your bridle by the crownpiece/top of the headstall. Find the top of your bit: If the shanks [vertical bars on each side of the mouthpiece] arch, the inside of the arch-curve is the back of the bit. There are rings at each end of the shanks. The top set might have slots; the slots go to the back, and thats where your curb chain goes. If its English there should be hooks to attach the curb chain with. The headstall should have slot-and-T-post hooks for the bit to go in (English). To open these, pull downward so the T-post slides out of the notch, down the slot, then lift the slot off of the T-post at an angle. You now have open tabs. Turn the shanks of your bit (if they swivel) so the bit is in the above position, and slip the leather tab through the inside of the top ring on the left side of your bit. Then refasten it the same way you opened it. Repeat for the other side of the bit to the headstall. Make sure no straps are twisted and that the bit lays the same way on each side. Once you have the bit in the headstall, fasten the curb chain making sure it lays flat and is not twisted. Hang it evenly from each side, behind the headstall straps on the topmost bit rings. If your bit does not have slots for the curb chain (some do and some don't), it just goes on the same rings as the headstall, in back of the headstall. Your English reins should have probably the same type of T-post fasteners (sorry if there is another name for these I don't know). The reins go on the lower-most bit rings. If your reins buckle at the bight, this little buckle will go in the middle of the reins, allowing you to separate the pair of reins. That's about it. Cross-pieces are the browband that goes across your horse's forehead and if your bridle has one, a noseband. Run the noseband (if there is one) inside of the bit for now until you see the way it lays on the horse. (If there isn't one, don't worry about it). THROAT LASH - is the narrow strap this goes at the back of your headstall, runs under your horse's neck where it joins his head and buckles. You must unbuckle this to put the bridle on and take the bridle off of your horse each time you ride. You may want to try a plain ring snaffle bit instead; because its kinder for your horse. If you do, it just has one larger set of rings on each side instead of shanks; attach the headstall to those rings, then fasten the reins onto the same rings behind the headstall. The link/s below will take you to some diagrams. Hope this helps!

Question : Is the use of a leather curb strap for western only?
I know that english riders have chain curbs but do they ever use leather. I ride english and my horse opens his mouth and let his eagbutt snaffle come through a little bit when we work on flexing/bending. It's not that big of a deal but I was just wondering. Thanks
Answer:
While the type of curb strap sold in the "english" market is mainly for bits with a curb chain, like a pelham, to keep the chain from getting twisted or moving out of position, I would say that a curb to keep from pulling the bit through your horses mouth is a good move- that or changing to a bit that doesn't allow itself to be pulled through, like a full cheek. And leather is great and seems like it would be a lot less... abrasive than chain link. These people even sell them for snaffles, even if they do have western intentions, a snaffle is a snaffle in my book:http://www.mecates.com/curb_straps.htm#sig curbHope this helps and best of luck,Rory
