Questions & Answers
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

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 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 : 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 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 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 : 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.
