Yes, you are right.  My farrier came out this morning and I showed
it to him.  He said to tighten the curb up.  The original chain
curb that came with the hack could not be adjusted, so I bought a
nylon/chain curb and was able to adjust it properly.  Then I vet
wrapped that wire and rode this morning.  Horse seemed comfortable
and I was a lot happier with it.  Thanks all for your help.
