Showman Long S Shank Bit w/ U Flat Tongue Relief

The Long S cheek delivers a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage. It picks up clean, helps with rate and lift, and resets without getting heavy, keeping cues balanced and readable in the hand.

The U-shaped port is tapered and polished for tongue relief while maintaining even bar contact, allowing the bit to ride quiet and centered without crowding the palate. This makes it an excellent choice for tuned horses that go best with lift, balance, and a soft, responsive mouth.

Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
