Kimberwick curb bits are a type of horse bit that combines features of both snaffle and curb bits.
They have D-shaped rings with slots to adjust rein position for varying leverage.
These bits apply pressure to the horse’s poll, chin, and mouth to aid in control.
Often used for stronger horses or in disciplines requiring more braking power.
Kimberwicks typically include a curb chain or strap to enhance leverage action.
They are popular in English riding, especially for novice riders or schooling.
Proper fit and gentle hands are essential to avoid discomfort or resistance.
