Description
The Argentine cheek gives a quick pickup, mild leverage, and an easy reset—light in the hand with clear, direct signals. It allows riders to maintain consistent rate and lift while keeping cues soft, readable, and precise.
The mouthpiece combines slow-twisted bars with a correction port and copper rollers at the port throat. The slow twist adds definition on the bars without the bite of a fast twist, while the correction port allows each side to move independently for crisp lateral cues and vertical lift. Copper rollers encourage salivation and a quieter mouth, helping horses stay soft as you shape rate, straightness, and collection.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
