Actually, TRD, the difference between a chain on a bit and a chain on a leadrope, is that the chain on the bit cannot bunch up or go slack like that of a leadrope. The leadropes I have with a chain attached, have
atleast
12 inches of chain. Wrapping that into a horse's mouth still gives it a lot of room to go tight and slack continuously (especially with lunging) and thus catching and pinch the tongue and potentially causing injury.
Chain can only conform to a certain point when pressed against an object, you're still dealing with a piece of metal - snaffle or not. While yes, I agree that if mishandled, the centre of a snaffle can come up and crack the roof of the horse's mouth, it doesn't mean a slack chain is any better.
Again, I doubt JackieE was using a chain bit at all, but the long chain of a leadrope that she was likely leading this colt with. Though I'm sure once she gets on here and replies, she'll be able to clear up the issue..
What
doesn't
kill you; is
sure
to leave a
horrible
scar.
Success
is not final,
failure
is not fatal: it is the
courage
to continue that counts.
