Description
The Long S cheek gives a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage—clean pickup, clear release, and a balanced feel in the hand. This design helps with rate and lift while keeping the signal clear and easy to read without getting heavy.
The twisted wire dogbone mouthpiece adds definition on the bars for horses that tend to lean, while the jointed center allows each side to move independently for crisp lateral cues and reduced palate pinch compared to a single joint. Copper rollers at the center promote salivation and acceptance, encouraging a quieter mouth and softer feel. Best in experienced hands, this bit is a strong option for horses that need more respect than a smooth mouth provides.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
