Showman Curved Shank with Slow Twist Correction Hinge

 FeaturesThe Curved Shank delivers a smooth pickup, a quick reset, and a centered, balanced feel that keeps communication steady and readable. Its back-set profile softens the initial touch, helping the rider shape lift, rate, and alignment without getting heavy in the hand. This cheek style supports refinement by offering leverage that engages cleanly while still staying soft enough for horses that appreciate a more forgiving first signal.The mouthpiece pairs slow-twist bars with a hinged correction center for a blend of definition, lift, and lateral clarity. The slow twist increases bar feel without the sharp intensity of a fast twist, giving riders a clearer boundary when tuning horses that tend to lean. The hinged correction port allows each side to move independently, promoting cleaner bend, shoulder control, and precise vertical lift. Polished edges and a balanced mouth feel help maintain acceptance while still delivering a firm, responsive feel best suited to confident, experienced hands.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 bite of a fast twist.Hinged correction port offers vertical lift and independent side action for refined cues.Curved shank (7) delivers balanced leverage, a centered feel, and a clean pickupreset.Firm, precise feel suited to tuned, responsive horses and experienced riders.Ideal for shaping lift, bend, shoulder control, rate, and overall alignment.SpecificationMeasurement MaterialMouthpiece5 slow-twist hinged correctionPort HeightApprox. 1 12 Port Width1Shank StyleCurved ShankShank Length7FinishHand-forged steelBit Severity FeelModerate to firm; precise and defined for tuned horsesUseLift, bend, shoulder control, rate, refinement, and straightness
