Showman Long S Shank Bit/ Flat Square Port

The Long S shank provides a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage, clean pickup, and balanced release, keeping cues clear and responsive in the rider’s hand.

The low flat square port gives tongue relief without crowding the palate. Its tapered, smooth edges maintain steady bar contact and a quiet mouth feel, making it ideal for horses that perform better with a little room on the tongue.

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