A curb chain is part of a kimberwick or pelham bit. They are used when the second (lower) rein of a pelham bit is activated. The top rein is connected directly to the bit in the horses mouth and is the primary rein used to guide the horse. The lower rein is connected to the shank portion of the bit and is only used to activate the curb chain which runs under the horses chin.
A kimberwick also uses a curb chain but only utilizes one rein. There are 2 positions the rein can be attached to the bit, upper and lower. Attaching the rein at the upper position means the curb chain is utilized but very mildly. Attached the rein to the lower position brings the curb chain into play more forcefully.

What is the softest horse bit?
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.
