- The curb chain applies pressure to the curb groove under a horse's chin when the curb rein of the bit is used. When the curb rein is pulled, the shank of the bit rotates back towards the chest of the horse and the cheek (upper shank) of the bit rotates forward (since it is a lever arm).f used with a loose curb chain, it allows the shanks to rotate more before the curb chain is tight enough to act as a fulcrum and exert pressure. This extra rotation can warn the horse before pressure is exerted on his mouth, so he may respond beforehand.

- The cows are healthier because of this practice. When docking is done properly, the physical, mental, and emotional stress on the animal is non-existent. We band their tails at 2 weeks of age; there is no stress at all. I believe that there is more stress on a tailed animal later in life.ows, like other animals, use their tail to swat flies and other pests. This is why farms that have cows on pasture usually do not employ the practice of tail docking. Many cows in New York are housed indoors where fans and other air systems control temperature and prevent fly strikes, making the cows more comfortable.

The running martingale: what it is and why use it? The running martingale. Martingales help give the rider extra control by preventing the horse from raising their head beyond the point of control. Many riders like to use a martingale when jumping, especially on a young or strong horse. The running martingale branches into two straps, with a ring at the end of each through which the reins pass. It works by stabilising the reins and bit and applying downward pressure on the mouth when the horse raises his head too high.

- Curb Chain. The curb chain or strap is mounted in the chin groove under the horse’s chin between the bit shanks of the bit. It steadies the bit within the mouth, and it controls the lever action of the reins.t also brings pressure up into the chin groove and “twists” the headstall down, causing downward pressure on the horse’s poll. A bit with no curb strap gives no leverage to the reins and no pressure to the chin groove.
