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.
1 Trot rails should be set 4' to 4'6 apart, canter poles 8 to 10' apart; if you've never jumped before setting a trot rail 8' in front of the x will help the horse to take a 1/2 canter stride pre-jump. 2  Wear all your protective equipment! 3  Every single piece; riding cap and body protector. 4  Keep your calves on your horse. If needed then leg on the horse just before he takes off to encourage him to get over the jump and to pick up his feet so that he won't knock the jump. 2  When first learning to jump, only jump at trot. 3  But when you're advanced, have a go at canter or even gallop. 4  Squeeze your horse/pony gentle onto the jump.
