Showman Argentine Shank Bit w/ U Flat Tongue Relief

The Argentine cheek gives a quick pickup, mild leverage, and an easy reset—light in the hand with clear, direct signals. It provides balanced cues for rate and lift while keeping the hand relaxed and consistent.

The U-shaped port is contoured and polished for tongue relief while maintaining even bar contact, allowing the bit to ride quiet and centered without crowding the palate. This makes it an excellent option for tuned horses that go best with balance, lift, and a soft, responsive mouth.

Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
