Description
The Long S cheek gives a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage—clean pickup, clear release, and a balanced feel in the hand. Its design helps with rate and lift while keeping signals readable and consistent without getting heavy.
The single-joint twisted wire snaffle adds definition on the bars compared to a smooth mouth, helping to lighten horses that tend to lean while keeping lateral cues straightforward. Use it when you want a clearer boundary without moving to a correctional port. Best in experienced hands, this bit delivers a moderate-to-firm feel, making it a strong choice for broke horses needing more respect than a plain snaffle allows.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
