Questions & Answers
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.

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 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 : 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 : Where to buy cheap necklace chains? (Curb chain)?
Please dont say a local craft shop.. as i dont have one!!Do hobby craft sell necklace chains?Im looking for 20'' - 24'' necklace chains in silver, or pink. I want the cheapest possible but not that thin chain, i want biggish links (But not what like chavs wear obviously!!)xx
Answer:
I make my own jewelry. I go to department stores, or discount stores and by cheaper necklaces that I kind of like and take them apart and make my own. If you have any Outlet stores (clothing) they usually have jewelry racks at the front of the store. Check clearance racks every where you go.

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 : 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 : Purpose of Curb Chains on Bits?
I was wondering what, exactly, the curb chain is for? I saw another rider using a gag bit, where there was no shanks, but the curb chain is in place to be activated when the pressure is put on the bit. I've read conflicting responses on whether or not the curb chain affect the stopping of a horse - some say it helps, others say it takes away the whoa. For a bit without shanks, what is the purpose? Thanks!I can't find a picture of the exact bit, but I'm kind of thinking along the lines of the one below. The chain under the chin acting as a curb chain, I would assume. I'm just wondering what the function of the chain in a bit similar to the one below is doing. There are clearly rings and no shanks, but I would assume that the chain is doing more than keeping the bit from sliding. Thanks again for your responses!http://www.horseloverz.com/Abetta-Ring-Gag-Bit---Stainless-Steel---5-pr-346856.html
Answer:
This bit is a leveraged gag, and has no snaffle function. Because it has rein loops and purchase, it functions as a leverage bit. The loops for attaching the bridle function as the purchase to pivot the rings forward as the reins are engaged, and tighten the bridle at the poll. The reins attach to the loops on the rings, making the rings function as shanks. The mouthpiece is the fulcrum for the rings to pivot around, but it slides on the rings which means it will elevate in the mouth when the reins are engaged and it will undoubtedly pinch the lips and bump into the teeth. The curb chain will tighten against the chin to limit forward rotation of the rings, and the noseband and bit mouthpiece will trap both the upper and lower jaws in a vicelike effect when the curb chain tightens. The jointed twisted wire will also tent and create a nutcracker effect against the palate, and squeezing against bars, tongue, and lips which multiplies the potential pain and tissue trauma from engaging this bit. So the curb chain both limits over-rotation of the rings and creates direct leverage force against the tongue, bars, lips. and chin. The rotation of the purchase creates leverage force against the poll.Gags theoretically encourage a horse to elevate the head and can be used as a temporary stage in training to prevent the horse from coming behind the bit. I'm sure there is a wide range of other excuses for using them as well. These are exceptionally harsh devices.
