Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

Leverage bits such as the pelham, and curb bit have a bit shank rather than a bit ring. en.wikipedia.org

The other parts of the bit are the bit rings on a snaffle bit, and the shanks on a curb bit. en.wikipedia.org

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

The saddle seat horse traditionally wears a double bridle (full bridle), with both a curb bit and a bradoon. 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

It has elements of both a curb bit and a snaffle bit. 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. en.wikipedia.org

May be used in preparation for the curb bit. en.wikipedia.org
