Curb Chain
A curb chain is the small piece of kit that makes a Pelham, Weymouth or other curb bit actually work, so every tack box should hold a spare. This one comes from Jump'In, the French bridlery house that has designed and field-tested its equipment with professional riders since 1990.
How it works: the chain runs between the bit's lower shanks and sits in the curb groove under the jaw. When the reins pick up contact, it braces against that groove so the leverage action of the bit has something firm to work against.
Why we rate it: it is a no-fuss replacement for a stretched or rusty chain, and swapping one out takes minutes at the wash bay. Chain fit is one of those small details worth checking before every show day.

Product FAQs
How do I measure my horse for the Curb Chain?
You need four measurements: (1) headstall — from behind the ear, over the poll, to the other ear; (2) browband — around the forehead; (3) noseband — around the nose where it sits; (4) bit-to-bit — corner of mouth to corner of mouth over the poll. Most Jump'In bridles come in Cob, Full, and Warmblood sizes.
Is the Curb Chain a dressage or jumping bridle?
Dressage bridles typically have a flash noseband, larger browband, and longer cheekpieces for a refined look. Jumping bridles often have a drop or figure-8 noseband and are designed to stay secure over fences. Check the Curb Chain product description for its discipline design.
How do I care for my Jump'In bridle?
Wipe down after every ride with a damp cloth. Clean with leather soap weekly, then condition with leather oil or balm. Store hanging in a cool, dry place. Take apart and deep-clean monthly. Well-maintained Curb Chain leather bridles can last decades.
