Description
The Long S cheek delivers a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage—clean pickup, clear release, and a balanced feel in the hand. This design helps promote rate and lift while keeping cues consistent and readable without becoming heavy. It offers riders a refined level of control that stays soft yet responsive.
The high port curb is bent inward, so it sits centered in the mouth, providing tongue relief while maintaining steady bar contact. That inward bend prevents palate interference and keeps the mouthpiece quiet, making this bit an excellent option for finished horses that work best with lift, balance, and light contact.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
