Questions & Answers
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 : 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 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 : 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.

Question : What is the purpose of a curb chain?
What is the purpose for a curb chain on a bit?
Answer:
The main use of the curb chain is to control the lever action of a curb bit. Additionally, it also helps to keep the bit steady and in place within the mouth, and helps to hold a lip strap in place.

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 : 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 : 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
