Description
The Long S shank delivers a smooth, rolling signal with a touch more leverage than a straight cheek. It picks up clean, helps shape rate and collection, and resets without getting heavy in your hand.
Paired with the slow twist, single-joint snaffle, this bit adds a little texture compared to a smooth mouth, giving clearer boundaries while keeping lateral flex simple and responsive. It’s a good choice for horses that lean on a plain snaffle and for riders who want defined bar contact without the bite of a fast twist.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
