The One Posts: 7998 Location: South Georgia	I recently bought a bunch of different bits to try out on my new mare. Question--what do you do with the extra curb chain hanging down? I dont want to cut off the slack yet because the bits are new to me and I want the ability to make adjustments, but it's driving me crazy when I rider her and its slinging around on that one side. LOL Maybe wrap it with vet wrap? What do you do?

Take a Picture Posts: 12842	Since you are using a Sweet Six I would loosen the curb and let it hang. The curb is just to keep the shanks from spreading apart.
