Showman Curved Shank with Cathedral Spade Port - 5 inch

• The 5" mouth with a cathedral spade port provides pronounced tongue relief, refined lift, and enhanced collection for finished horses.
• The tall, defined throat promotes a precise, upright response and clear vertical engagement.
• The 7" Curved Shank offers balanced leverage, a smooth pickup, and a tidy, consistent release.
• Back-set design softens initial contact while maintaining a crisp, readable signal.
• Ideal for experienced riders working with well-broke, highly responsive horses that handle advanced correction and lift.

The Curved Shank delivers a smooth, centered signal with a clean pickup and a quick, consistent reset. Its back-set, swept profile softens the first touch while still offering enough leverage to shape lift, collection, and alignment. This design keeps cues clear without feeling abrupt, making it a reliable choice for finished horses that respond best to subtle, precise communication.

The mouthpiece features a tall cathedral spade port that provides pronounced tongue relief and a defined, upright throat. When engaged, it offers refined vertical lift, added collection, and a crisp line of communication through the body. The combination of the cathedral spade and the curved shank is intended for skilled riders who understand how to balance leverage, lift, and release without over-cueing. This bit is best suited for seasoned horses familiar with advanced signal bits.
