Showman Long S Shank Bit with Slow Twist Correction Hinge

 The Long S Shank delivers a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage, offering a clean pickup, clear release, and a balanced feel in the rider’s hand. Its sweeping profile allows the bit to engage gradually, helping shape rate, lift, and collection without becoming abrupt or heavy. This design keeps cues readable and consistent, making it a dependable choice for tuned horses that respond best to a more refined, building signal.The mouthpiece blends slow-twist bars with a hinged correction center with roller, creating a balance of definition and precision. The slow twist increases bar contact without the sharp bite of a fast twist, helping to engage horses that lean or become dull in smoother mouthpieces. The hinged correction allows each side to move independently, promoting crisp lateral cues and clear vertical lift while improving shoulder control and overall body alignment. Polished edges help maintain comfort and encourage a quiet, accepting mouth.Showman® Premium BitsEach Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.Slow-twist bars provide more defined bar contact without the severity of a fast twist.Hinged correction center delivers vertical lift with independent side action for refined cues.Long S cheek (8 12) offers progressive leverage with a smooth, readable signal.Balanced design supports lift, rate, and collection without becoming heavy in the hand.Firm, precise feel suited to tuned horses and experienced riders.SpecificationMeasurement MaterialMouthpiece5 slow-twist hinged correction with rollerPort HeightApprox. 1 34Port Width1 12Shank StyleLong S ShankShank Length8 12FinishHand-forged steelBit Severity FeelModerate to firm; defined and responsive depending on rider handUseLift, rate, collection, bend, shoulder control, and refined communication
