It helps distribute pressure across your horse's mouth, poll, and curb area. This distributed pressure encourages the horse to relax at the poll, leading to lighter, more refined communication from the rider and a generally kinder interaction than concentrated pressure.How should I properly adjust the Myler curb chain for my horse?Proper adjustment is crucial for effectiveness and comfort. The goal is to allow a slight delay in engagement, typically 1 to 1¼ inches of rein movement, before the curb chain tightens. A common guideline is the "two-finger rule" for slack, ensuring you can comfortably slide two fingers between the chain and the horse's chin. Avoid constant pressure (too tight) or ineffective pressure (too loose), as both can cause discomfort or confusion. Each link should lie flat against the horse's jaw to prevent pinching or rubbing.Is this curb chain compatible with all Myler bits?This curb chain is specifically designed for use with Myler shank and combination bits. It can also be utilized with Myler snaffle bits that feature "J" hooks or quick links, allowing riders to add leverage and stabilization without changing the bit itself. Please check your specific bit's requirements for compatibility.What if my horse has sensitive skin? Are there alternatives to a metal curb chain?While the Myler single-link design is crafted to lie flat and smoothly for comfort, concerns about sensitive skin are valid. For horses with delicate skin or for additional cushioning, riders may consider alternatives like a leather curb strap or a gel chain cover. These options can soften contact and disperse pressure more evenly, particularly useful for schooling or when transitioning a horse to a leverage bit.What makes the Myler Stainless Steel Curb Chain durable?This curb chain is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional durability, rust resistance, and ability to withstand the rigors of various riding conditions.
