The Argentine cheek gives a quick pickup, mild leverage, and an easy reset—light in the hand with clear, direct signals. It allows riders to maintain consistent rate and lift while keeping cues soft, readable, and precise.

The mouthpiece combines slow-twisted bars with a correction port and copper rollers at the port throat. The slow twist adds definition on the bars without the bite of a fast twist, while the correction port allows each side to move independently for crisp lateral cues and vertical lift. Copper rollers encourage salivation and a quieter mouth, helping horses stay soft as you shape rate, straightness, and collection.


Showman® Premium Bits

Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.

  • The 5" mouthpiece combines slow-twisted bars with a ported center for defined bar contact and soft, responsive cues.
  • The correction port allows independent side action for vertical lift and refined lateral control.
  • Copper rollers at the port encourage salivation and a quieter, more accepting mouth.
  • The Argentine cheek (6 ½") provides light, balanced leverage with a quick, clear pickup.
  • Firm yet refined feel; best suited to experienced hands for broke horses needing moderate correction.
