What is a curb chain?

A curb chain is a type of chain commonly used in horse bridles and other pieces of tack. It has flat, slightly twisted links that lie flat against the horse's chin, providing more direct pressure than a regular chain. Curb chains are often used in conjunction with a leverage bit to give the rider more control over the horse.

Curb chains can be made of various materials, such as stainless steel, brass, or nickel. They come in different thicknesses and lengths to suit different breeds and sizes of horses. Proper fit and adjustment of the curb chain are important to ensure that it functions correctly and does not cause discomfort to the horse.

Overall, curb chains are a popular choice for riders looking to have more control over their horse's movements and direction.
