Questions & Answers
Question : What to do if your curb chain (on hackamore) breaks?
The leather strap that was holding it to the rest of the bridle snapped from old age and now my curb chain is dangling on one side.. Is there something I can use in its place temporarily... I don't want to just stop riding until I get a new curb chain cause I don't know how long that'll be.but without it the noseband and bit hobble pieces can bend outward and then don't seem like they'd be as efficient? idk..
Answer:
Binder twine from hay bales would probably work.. it's strong..Try using something to reattach the curb chain, instead of using something to replace it..If you have to find something to replace it, try to find something that isn't too narrow.. Just do NOT use your bridle without a curb chain.: )

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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 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.
