A single-bar bit with a curve in the middle and shanks and a curb chain to provide leverage in a horse's mouth.
All a curb bit is, is a bit with a curb chain. A curb chain is a chain that can hook on to a bit. It allows more control with the bit. About every type of bit has hooks on it that a curb chain will attatch to.
The fatter the bar, generally the kinder the bit. Looking for a kind bit look for a fat bar, the width of which will be suitable for the horse. Whether the bit is a snaffle with one or more joints, or a curb, the fatter, the kinder. If the bit is a curb, go with the shortest shanks possible going down, and little shank above the bar. Try it with a leather curb strap first, then a curb chain - and make sure the chain lies flat.
Probably a curb or something with shanks, depending on what exactly your doing. :)
If you're talking about a curb strap on a curb bit, then yes, it is required. If you are talking about a curb strap for a snaffle bit, then no, it is not required. Bosals do not require a curb strap. If you are talking about a chin strap for the western hat, no, one is not required. It is not required but I strongly recommend because with out it the bit has too much movement that may confuse the horse.
It depends on a number of things. If your horse is flighty, prone to spooking, stubborn, or a stallion, a shank bit, a curb bit, or a tom thumb bit may be in order. However, if he is easygoing, laid back and responsive, a snaffle bit may be used.
There are two basics kinds of bit, snaffle and curb.
A curb chain is attached to the curb bit of a bridle, running under the horse's chin groove. It helps provide leverage and control as pressure is applied to the horse's chin when the reins are engaged.
It all comes down to the individual horse. The most popular type of curb bit over the years is the medium shank, low port aluminum.
A full bridle typically has 16 bits, which includes a curb bit, snaffle bit, and a bit of the rider's choice. The bridle is used in horseback riding to control the horse's movements and direction.
A kimblewick bit has a slight curb action. A snaffle can be plain or jointed but a kimblewick is normally plain.
The chin strap attaches in the back part of the bit and the rear side of the brilde.
It is called a pelham bit in English riding. In western riding, it would be called a tom thumb.Horseisle Answer- Pelham
