Leather curb strap
Adjustment of the Chain or Strap
Proper adjustment of the curb chain is very important.
If the curb chain is too tight, there will be constant uncomfortable pressure on the horse's chin groove and bars of the mouth. The rein aids will be exaggerated, which could cause the horse to toss its head or open its mouth to escape the pressure.
If the chain or strap is too loose or left off altogether the leverage action of the bit won't be as effective. If there is a port or spoon on the bit, it can be pulled against the roof of the horse’s mouth sharply, causing the horse pain. The curb strap or chain should be done up so that when the reins are pulled, the shanks of the bit don't rotate beyond 45 degrees. Many people use the width of two fingers between the horse's chin groove and the strap or chain to estimate how tight the chain is. But this only an approximation after you've checked that the shanks will rotate about 45 degrees.

Curb Straps
The problem: Adjusting the curb strap too loose or attaching it to the wrong part of the bit.
The solution: We see it at clinics all the time: Riders’ curb straps attached in the wrong spot. The curb strap is designed to add an additional pressure point to help collect and balance your horse. When you adjust your chinstrap, attach it to the curb ring—evenly on each side of the bit—so it hangs in your horse’s chin groove. You can choose between a leather curb or chain curb strap, depending on the sensitivity of your horse and your riding experience. A chain tends to have a stronger signal than a leather strap.
Ensure that your curb strap lies flat against your horse’s jaw and isn’t twisted when you attach it. Check to see that you can fit two fingers between the strap and your horse’s jaw. A curb strap that’s too loose will be ineffective; too tight and it can put too much pressure on your horse and won’t offer him a release.
So, always use a curb strap or a chain. It may look small, but it's an important part of your horse's bridle.
