Description
The S-shank offers a smooth rolling pickup with a clean, predictable release, giving the rider a responsive feel without sudden leverage. Its natural curve provides a progressive lift that helps shape vertical balance and body alignment while keeping the overall feel refined and controlled. The design is ideal for horses that understand curb pressure and benefit from a bit that encourages lift without getting dull or braced.
The correction port adds clear vertical cues and independent side action, allowing the rider to fine-tune shoulder control, rib positioning, and overall body shape. The addition of mouth rings encourages moisture, acceptance, and softness, helping keep the horse light while still providing enough definition for disciplined response. Polished surfaces and a well-balanced mouthpiece promote comfort, making this a strong choice for tuned horses needing precision and accountability.
