Kat,

Judging from my horse's response, the grazing bit with the curb strap is
more powerful than without it. I'm not sure exactly about the dynamics
of it; other than the grazing bit with the curved back shanks is
supposed to be mild and its a fairly thick bit which makes it mild
also. It does have a good sized port but, without the curb, it takes
effort to engage it. I'm no expert here but that's my take on it. Feel
free to tell me if I'm wrong (although I don't think ridecampers are
hesistant about that :)

Oh, I also noticed that without the curb strap, my horse looks for
contact (except when she gets excited about other horses ahead of her on
the trail--which is the thing we are working on). With it, she's a bit
more careful and I must be much more subtle.
