Showman® Premium Bits
The Curved Shank offers a smooth pickup, a quick reset, and a centered, balanced feel. Its back-set profile softens the first touch, giving riders a cleaner approach to shaping lift and rate without adding unnecessary weight in the hand. This design keeps communication clear while maintaining a comfortable, responsive feel for the horse.
The smooth lifesaver mouthpiece is a three-piece design with a flat center ring that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue. It reduces the nutcracker effect found in single joints, lies flatter for improved comfort, and keeps each side independent for crisp, accurate lateral cues. This makes the bit well-suited for riders working on bend, shoulder control, and straightness with tuned horses.
Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
