Description
The Showman® Long S Shank with Smooth Low Port offers a touch more leverage and a rolling signal compared to a straight shank, making it responsive yet forgiving. Its long S-shaped cheeks provide progressive leverage, giving riders a clear pickup and steady balance in hand. Paired with the smooth, tapered low port, this mouthpiece delivers tongue relief without palate pressure while maintaining steady bar contact. The result is a bit that keeps most horses relaxed while still responsive to lateral cues, ideal for improving rate, collection, and soft communication.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
