FAQs
Is this chain safe for tying a horse?
No, this chain is designed for in-hand showing and presentation. It should not be used to tie a horse, as sudden pulling can damage the chain or the horse's equipment.
Can this be used in the rain?
Yes, solid brass is highly resistant to rust, but it will naturally tarnish when exposed to moisture. Dry the chain thoroughly after use in wet conditions.
What is the primary purpose of this product?
The primary purpose is to provide a secure and aesthetically pleasing connection between a lead rein and a horse's headgear for showing or in-hand work.
Does the chain come in other metals?
The Mackey Newmarket series is specifically crafted from solid brass, which is valued for its strength and traditional gold appearance.
Where is this product manufactured?
The Mackey Newmarket Brass Chain is manufactured in England.
Troubleshooting
The brass finish is looking dull or tarnished.
Use a mild brass polishing compound and a soft microfiber cloth to gently restore the shine.
The swivel mechanism feels stiff.
Apply a small amount of non-toxic, food-grade lubricant to the swivel joint and work it back and forth to loosen any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the chain, simply attach the swivel end to your horse’s head collar or bridle cheek piece, and secure your lead rein to the opposite end. Ensure that the snap mechanisms are fully closed and free from debris before each use.
Regarding compatibility, the chain is designed to be universal with standard equestrian headgear that utilizes d-rings or bits. To maintain the brass, clean it with a soft cloth after use to remove sweat or mud. Periodically use a dedicated brass polish to prevent tarnishing and keep the gold finish looking vibrant. Store in a dry, temperate environment to prevent the natural oxidation process of the brass.
