Showman Long S Shank with Flat Square Port

The Showman® Premium Long S Shank Bit is expertly designed to deliver clear communication, balanced leverage and a smooth, responsive feel in the rider’s hands. Featuring an 8 ½" Long S shank, this bit creates a soft rolling signal with progressive leverage, encouraging clean pickup and controlled release while maintaining steady, quiet contact in the horse’s mouth.

The 5" flat square port mouthpiece is crafted with a low 1 ½" port to provide tongue relief without excessive palate pressure, making it an excellent choice for horses that perform better with additional tongue room. Tapered, smooth edges create a softer feel across the bars and help encourage relaxation and responsiveness without unnecessary lift.

Hand-forged from durable steel with solid welds and balanced construction, each Showman® Premium Bit is crafted for reliability, longevity and professional-level performance. Designed to help shape rate and lift while maintaining a comfortable mouth feel, this moderate bit is ideal for horses needing tongue relief combined with clear, refined cues.
