Silicone Curb Chain Protectors — Soft-Tissue Safety for Every Bit
The silicone sleeve that turns metal curb chains into horse-friendly gear.
Metal curb chains dig into the sensitive skin of the jaw groove, causing rubs on horses with thin skin or young mouths. Our silicone curb chain protectors sleeve the entire chain in a food-grade silicone skin, preserving the exact bit action while eliminating the metal-on-skin contact. Ideal for sensitive horses, young horses in training and any rider who cares about welfare.
Each protector is silicone-moulded as a continuous flexible sleeve with a precision inner diameter matched to standard curb chain link sizes (6mm, 8mm, 10mm). The sleeve slides over the chain and anchors at both hook ends. No modification to the chain or bit is needed — installation takes under 30 seconds.
Standard lengths: 5", 6", 7", 8", 9" (fits pony to full horse). Inner diameter: 6mm (fine chain), 8mm (standard), 10mm (heavy Weymouth). Standard colours: 6 off-the-shelf (clear, black, brown, burgundy, navy, natural). Custom Pantone from 2,000 units. MOQ: 500 units standard; 2,000 for custom. Lead time 4-6 weeks ex-factory.
