Questions & Answers
Question : What is the circular ring on a curb chain for?
My riding instructor gave me "homework." She told me to find out what the circular ring in the centre of my curb chain is for (on a Pelham bit). Does anybody know? Thanks!
Answer:
It's a ring for the lip strap to go through. The lip strap is supposed to keep the horse from being able to nip at the shanks. It keeps the shanks from being pulled too far away from each other.http://www.uksaddlery.com/usrimage/358gd.jpghttp://www.rainbowsendtack.com/product%20images/En g%20Bits%20Page%201/BE11%20Never%20Rust%20Weaymouth%20Bit.jpg

Question : can you use a gold 1M curb chain for a bag?
i have a bag and the handles are too short so i was wondering if you could use curb chains as a long chain handle because you can attach and detach them.
Answer:
I can't see why not as long as your bag isn't to heavy why don't you just give it a go ? If it's a success you could set up your own bag company.

Question : What does a curb chain do?
I know how a curb chain works, so i guess the more appropriate way to phrase my question is: what does a loose curb chain do? At the barn where i ride, nearly every lesson horse has a curb chain. some are really loose, like flapping at the bottom of the muzzle. what use would that have? (By the way I mean curb chains on a English Pelham bit.)Yeah, almost all the horses have curb chains, martingales, and Pelham bits. I haven't seen it anywhere else.
Answer:
If the curb chain is loose, it allows more time for signals from the reins to be sent through the shanks before leverage on mouth tissues is engaged. This gives the horse the opportunity to respond to just the vibratory signal and avoid the leverage force. Another effect of using a loose curb chain is on the poll. Because a loose curb chain allows further rotation of the mouthpiece without engaging leverage on the mouth, the purchase arm (above the mouthpiece) is allowed to be moved farther forward which increases leverage on the poll. The purchase arm is typically shorter than the shanks, and is the part that attaches to the cheek straps of the bridle. So if the rider wants to increase the leverage on the poll for more flexion, but do so without undo leverage on the mouth, a loose curb chain can allow that.The tighter the curb chain, the sooner vice-like leverage force is applied to the mouth, with less leverage force on the poll since the purchase arm is prevented from rotating forward as far as it can with a loose curb chain. This gives the horse less time to perceive the rein signals before leverage force is engaged, and little opportunity to respond to the signals and avoid the leverage force.All of that said, the curb chain should engage when the shank is moved backward to a 45 degree angle. If it is looser than that, it is too loose for the bit to function correctly.

Question : Dumb question about curb chains and snaffles?
So I haven't ridden in a snaffle for like 10 years and at the time had no clue about anything except brushing the horse and how to make them go and stop (this was back when I first started lessons). I have ridden a time or two with a twisted snaffle when helping my trainer but never paid attention to whether or not there was a curb chain. My brain is telling me that curb chains go with curb bits and you don't use them with snaffles, but then again I don't know for sure. I just got a new egg butt snaffle for my boy and was wondering if I should put a curb chain on it (again, I have no clue lol). So is my brain right in telling me curb chain = curb bit? Or do people use them with snaffles too?Thanks
Answer:
Your brain is correct!!However... some people do use a leather curb strap at times when breaking a horse to keep the rings from pulling through the mouth or whatever other reason they think of. But for all intents and purposes..listen to your brain this time!! Snaffles do not require a curb chain/strap.

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 : 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 : 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 : Jewelry making? Curb Chains & Jump rings?
I'm starting jewlery making & I want to make something like this:http://www.astarte-moon.co.uk/shop/images/jewellery/ Charm%20bracelet%20black%20cross.jpgI basically want to make necklaces & bracelets using bottle caps as pendants & having loads of charms & beads added to it. :)My question is what size chain would you reccomend using? I bought a 2x3mm & it was WAY too thin, I want something bigger & sturdier.Would a 4mm jump ring be sturdy enough? Like would it at least hold one charm? Also what's the difference between closed & open jump rings?I ordered 4mm opened jump rings. (I'm thinking it would be easier to work with) but how would I close it?ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Answer:
That picture does not showCool:)Chain I would suggest 4-6 mm depending on the look you want.4mm jump rings in my past experience are not that strong, search on etsy.fom for strong jump rings. Closing a jump ring, the trick is to not pull the ends apart but twist them apart, I might make a video on this soon.
