介绍（中）	这个钻头用于训练幼马，并从路边钻头开始它们。尽管它们的外观令人印象深刻，但实际上认为直细长的柄对马更温和，因为它们的杠杆效应反应时间更长，而且它们在某个时候被马的胸部阻止。路边的位也用非常轻的手使用，训练有素的马匹通过预测缰绳的最轻微移动做出反应。这个吹嘴由简单的铰接式大炮制成，是当时能找到的最简单的。宴会，即连接烟嘴的脸颊部分，可以打开以切换吹嘴，这是德国盛装舞步特别受欢迎的功能。在训练开始时，这个位会与一个洞穴相结合，一个刚性的鼻带，通常由铁制成，放在马的鼻子上，一个敏感的区域。骑手会使用他的卡维森的缰绳，同时他使用他的咬，教年轻的马在不破坏它嘴巴的敏感性的情况下对咬头做出反应。虽然整个欧洲都使用长直的颧皮来训练幼马，但仅在德国和匈牙利，它们的比例就达到了极限，有时高达 20 英寸。（50.8 厘米）。
介绍（英）	This bit was used for the training of young horses and starting them with the curb bit. Despite their impressive aspect, the straight elongated shanks were in fact thought to be more gentle on the horse, because of the longer reaction time in their leverage effect and the fact that they were stopped by the horse's chest at some point. Curb bits were also used with a very light hand, the well-trained horses responding by anticipation to the slightest move of the reins. This mouthpiece, made of simple articulated canons, was the simplest that could be found at the time. The banquets, the parts of the cheekpieces to which the mouthpiece is attached, can be opened for switch out the mouthpiece, a feature particularly appreciated on dressage bits in Germany. At the beginning of the training, this bit would have been combined with a cavesson, a rigid noseband, often made of iron, resting on the horse’s nose, a sensitive area. The rider would use his cavesson’s reins at the same time he used his bit’s, teaching the young horse to respond to the bit without spoiling the sensitivity of its mouth. Though long straight cheekpieces were used in all of Europe for training young horses, in Germany and Hungary alone they took on extreme proportions, sometimes up to 20 in. (50.8 cm).
