Description

A lip strap is a piece of horse tack made of rolled leather or occasionally thin chain, used sometimes on some types of English-style curb and Pelham bits. The lip strap runs between the bit shanks and passes through a special center ring on a curb chain sometimes called the “fly link.” The lip strap attaches to rings at midpoint of the shanks and buckles on the near side. The lip strap helps keep a “mouthy” horse from mouthing or “lipping” the shank. It also helps prevent the curb chain from unfastening or otherwise moving too much. Colour: Black, Brown
