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 creates a balanced feel that keeps cues clear without getting heavy, making it a reliable option for horses that go best in a subtle, steady bit.

The mouthpiece features a low flat square port designed for tongue relief without crowding the palate. Its broad, polished edges keep the pressure even across the bars, encouraging a quieter mouth and a more relaxed, willing response. This combination provides a soft, steady feel ideal for riders who want mild tongue relief paired with consistent bar contact and dependable communication.
