Description
The Argentine cheek gives a quick pickup, mild leverage, and an easy reset, keeping signals light, direct, and easy to read. This shank style offers balanced control without getting heavy, making it a versatile choice for everyday use.
The fixed port mouthpiece provides tongue relief with a stable, centered feel. At 1 ¾" tall and 1" wide, it clears the tongue without crowding the palate while maintaining even bar contact. With less side play, the fixed construction keeps the mouthpiece quiet and steady—ideal for finished horses that go best with consistent pressure while you refine lift, rate, and straightness.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
