Dennis Moreland Tack: How to Attach Curbs and Bit Hobbles

Curb straps, also called chin straps, and bit hobbles (find this video on the Dennis Moreland Tack blog at http://www.dmtack.com/wp-admin/edit.php) seem like they should be simple to attach to a bit. After you get one taken apart and on the bit however it can be frustrating to get the loops and connector back on correctly! This video shows the step by step method to get the loops and connector where they belong. Follow along here: 1. Place the bit on the table with the back facing up. If you have a shanked bit the rein loops should be pointing toward you. 2. Take the curb strap or bit hobble apart. Leave one loop on a 2 loop strap and leave 2 loops on a 4 loop strap. 3. With the connector (buckle or rawhide knot) facing down slide the loop(s) remaining on the strap all the way to the buckle. 4. Starting from the outside thread the tail of the curb strap through the left attachment loop or headstall ring on a shanked bit or left ring on a snaffle. For a bit hobble slide tail through the left rein ring. 5. Now thread the tail through the loop you left on the strap. If you started with a 4 loop strap you should thread it through only the 2nd loop. 6. Put remaining 1 or 2 loops on the strap. 7. Thread the tail through the right ring of the bit and around and through the loop(s) you just put on the strap. 8. Buckle the buckle or connect the ball knot. 9. If you started with a 4 loop strap put the tail of the strap through the keeper loop. If you started with a 2 loop strap the tail hangs. 10. Slide the loops so they’re in place on the strap.
