Curb Chain

Curb ChainCurb?

We were wondering if you go by the left as a tradition from the time when men wore swords, and we go on the left to be able to make effective weapons in case of dispute. Everything is fixed on the left so that it can easily be checked before installation (I guess)
Why the hell does fix the curb on the right?

Mine has a leather strap attached to the string so it can set on each side, but I realize you are talking about ... Interesting question, I do not really know. xD

Maybe they did not fix this way in medieval times, and now it has evolved over the centuries to be like that? Perhaps curb chains have already been set by the left and slowly tilted the Act of time so they were fixed by the right for a reason ...

Again, really good question. I'll try to do some research and see if I can find something. For now, I give you a star to have brought this up. :)


EDIT:

Grr .. still nothing. This is a toughy.

I thought that while the search, if grooms held the horse, the knight during assembly, did not they? I mean, that chainmail must've been heavy and getting up from the saddle difficult for a man fully shielded. The groom may have been standing on the right side, and they block the channel as a final measure before letting the horse go on the ramparts. Did not really make sense, but it's a thought. xD

The Shan sidewalk that I use to fix the reason, but I guess it's just the way you first put it. I'm sure yours can be adjusted to be fixed from the Left.

You can buy the kind that attach to the left!
but I understand you!
I have the same as you

The swords are traditionally worn on the left, since that makes it easier for a right-handed fencer to draw the sword from its scabbard. If you wear a sword on the left, you want to ride your horse on the left, otherwise the sword will start. The practice dates back well before the golden age of medieval knights. In fact, it is most likely when the sword toting warriors began to ride into battle. Each bracelet I've ever used in England attached to the left.

you can never have too take the strap off sidewalk, so why is it important???

I think you can put it either way really

your chain of sidewalk is upside down! must attach to the left, as everything we do with our horses. longer go where you can set the two sides, but just take off and attach it to fix on the left and make your life easier! Hope this helps.

I've never had this fixed on the right - except a curb on my kimberwick that hooks on both sides.

Maybe like its buttons shirts women on the left and right into the mens button on the left because I have the right men dressed girls and women dressed.

Maybe ever created your chain does not know the basic rules:)

No idea

That is interesting, apparently another difference between you and the United States. I've never had a chain that is permanently attached to one side or the other, not that they did not (not familiar with all bits in English there), but here in western riding , with a few that comes equipped with a brake line, they can be canceled from each side. If the bit does not come with a curb (most have no other than the combination of bits), we have to buy a bracelet or wrist band separately and are designed to fit and be removed from each side.

Thought I'd add that tidbit, not a real good answer for you.

horses.ponys all my borders are fixed on the left side as everything else!

Everyone is right, it attaches to the left, thats confusing ... sorry Just a pair of pliers and hook unsquash.
