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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : Looking for curb chain, silver/gold plated, in the UK?
I'm making some necklaces for Christmas presents and am looking for a website where I can buy curb chain (preferably silver and gold plated, not cheap metal). It would be best if the chain is sold in 1m or 2m lengths rather than individual chains. Please note it MUST be in the UK. Can anyone advise a website I can buy this from? I've searched through numerous sites via Google but can't quite find what I am looking for!
Answer:
Try this sitehttp://www.firemountaingems.com/they ship internationally, but it may take a couple of weeks. But they do have a wide range of chain lengths in silver and gold plated. They also sell in bulk spools depending on the chain style.Sorry its not in the UK, but it is a good website.

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.
