Showman Curved Shank with Slow Twist Correction Hinge Bit

  • Description
  • Key Features
  • Specifications

The Curved Shank offers a smooth pickup, balanced leverage, and a quick, tidy reset. Its back-set profile softens the initial touch and keeps the bit centered, helping riders shape lift and balance without adding extra weight in the hand. This makes it a solid choice for tuned horses that respond best to a refined, readable signal.

The mouthpiece blends slow-twisted bars with a hinged correction port. The slow twist adds definition on the bars without the harsher bite of a fast twist, while the hinged center allows each side to move independently for crisp lateral cues. The design provides clear vertical lift and precise communication, supporting rate, straightness, and collected motion.
