FAQs
Is this chain rust-proof?
It is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and oxidation.
Can I use this on a pony?
No, this is specifically sized for Cob-sized horses. We offer a Pony variant (AGR-202223) for smaller equines.
How do I know if the Cob size is right for my horse?
If your horse typically fits a Cob-sized bridle and bit, this chain should provide the correct length for the curb groove.
What is the primary material?
The Mackey Curb Chain is made from high-quality stainless steel.
Does this chain come with hooks?
This product consists of the chain itself. Curb hooks are generally sold as part of the curb bit hardware.
Troubleshooting
Chain is too loose or too tight
Adjust the hook attachment point on the curb bit or ensure the horse is properly fitted for a Cob size.
Chain is causing friction or rubbing
Ensure the flat side of the double links is facing the horse's skin and check for any twisted links before mounting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality stainless steel resists rust
- Sturdy double-link construction for longevity
- Specifically sized for Cob-sized horses
- Low maintenance material
Cons
- Limited to Cob size (not adjustable for smaller or larger heads)

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread the chain ends through the curb hooks of your bit, ensuring the chain lies flat against the horse's chin with no twists. For compatibility, this Cob-sized model is best suited for horses typically wearing a Cob-sized bridle. To care for your Mackey Curb Chain, simply rinse it with fresh water after heavy use to remove sweat or salt buildup. Regularly inspect the links for signs of wear and keep the chain dry when stored to maintain the finish of the stainless steel.
