Curb chain guards, does one size fit all?

[Ellietotz]

I can only find ones that are 'one size'.
What size is 'one size'? Can't I get a pony sized one?

Depending on the type of chain guard, I believe that they are one size fits all, however if you are using one of the rubber type it is easy to trim them to size using sturdy scissors, just make sure to trim equally from both ends (a little off each end in other words, not all from one side).

A tidier and less bulky curb chain would be a leather one, pony size would be available. They look so much nicer than the bulky rubber ones and are acceptable on double bridles.

Nope you can get pony ones, I found one and it is smaller links than the average one as you cannot cut them down and you lose the single links at each end to hook over the link to the bit.

You can also cut them down Is it chains or guards we're talking about? we cut both down! Even pony size are too long for our guys and they always come with the central ring we don't want! and the guards are easy to cut down

I have a regular curb chain for a Kimblewick bit and want to find a leather guard but I haven't come across one in any other sizes. Any links?

I would buy a pony one designed for ponies with smaller noses, I have cut one down before and it was not a nice fit as the single links at the end went to enable a nice easy clip onto the link. Why cut one down when you can get a nice pony one for little money

Yes of course there are pony sized curb chains, it's the covers we are talking about.

Sorry, bit of miscommunication. I don't need the chain, I want a pony sized leather guard

Oh yes, I have seen those but not sure how I get the current chain off, it's pretty closed shut?
