Showman Long S Shank with Flat High Port

 The Long S shank provides a smooth, rolling signal with a touch more leverage than a straight cheek. It picks up clean, aids in shaping rate and lift, and resets without getting heavy in the rider’s hand.The flat high port is tapered and smooth, giving the tongue room while maintaining steady bar contact. At 2 ½ tall, it rides decisive yet fair in experienced hands, helping finished horses stay light without crowding the palate. This bit is ideal for riders seeking progressive leverage with a clear, readable signal.Showman® Premium BitsEach Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.Flat high port (2 ½) with tapered edges for tongue relief and a quiet mouth feelLong S cheek (8 ½) provides progressive leverage and smooth pickupPromotes rate, lift, and responsiveness without heavinessMaintains light, balanced contact for finished horsesHand-forged construction with solid welds for durabilityDetailMeasurement MaterialMouthpiece5 flat high portPort Height2 ½Port Width2Shank StyleLong S ShankShank Length8 ½FinishHand-forged steelBit SeverityFeelModerateUseFinished horses, shaping rate and lift, progressive leverage
