Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

A second pair of reins, on the curb bit ring, provides a lever action.

en.wikipedia.org

Curb bits, having bit shanks of any kind are dangerous; the line can tangle in them, causing injury to the horse's mouth.

en.wikipedia.org

As in a curb bit, the shanks apply pressure with leverage to the nose, jaw, and poll joint.

en.wikipedia.org

Like some curb bits, a pelham bit usually has loose shanks - hinged at the mouthpiece in the same way that the rings of a snaffle bit are hinged.

en.wikipedia.org

However, skilled riders with experience with the curb bit may adjust the chain tighter to accommodate the needs of the individual horse, type of equipment, and training situation.

en.wikipedia.org

Riders must use a western saddle and a curb bit, and may only use one hand to hold the reins while riding.

en.wikipedia.org

May be used in preparation for the curb bit.

en.wikipedia.org

However, these bits all are actually curb bits because they have shanks and operate with leverage.

en.wikipedia.org

Both are used with a curb chain, thus the ring acts like a bit shank and creates leverage, making it a type of curb bit.

en.wikipedia.org

In other words, they keep a steady contact with the bradoon bit and only engage the curb bit to when necessary to encourage the horse to collect.
