Location: midwest mama	I run my horse in a Goostree Simplicity Bit with a loose curb chain. My mare really likes it. She is a ratey type horse and I have had some people tell me that I shouldn't be using a curb chain on her with this bit. What do you all that ride with this bit do? Curb chain or no curb chain? How was it meant to be used? I watched Carol's video about her bits and she doesn't really say.

I agree with this ^^^^ Are if you feel the curb is to much you can also use a med. thick nylon string, I use the string on alot of my bits.

Sorry I don't have any advice Posts: 1975 Location: Sunnyland Florida	I have a loose black shoestring on my Simplicity and it works wonderful, especially on the ratey ones.
