Showman Long S Shank with Flat High Port

The Showman® Premium Long S Shank Bit with Flat High Port is designed for experienced riders seeking refined communication, progressive leverage and a responsive, balanced feel. Featuring an 8 ½" Long S shank, this bit delivers a smooth rolling signal with slightly increased leverage compared to a straight cheek, creating a clean pickup and controlled release without becoming heavy in the rider’s hands.

The 5" flat high port mouthpiece is crafted with a 2 ½" tapered port that provides generous tongue relief while maintaining steady contact across the bars. Its smooth, tapered edges encourage a quieter mouth feel and help finished horses remain light, soft and responsive without excessive palate pressure. Designed to promote rate, lift and responsiveness, this bit offers decisive yet fair communication in knowledgeable hands.

Hand-forged from durable steel with solid welds and balanced craftsmanship, each Showman® Premium Bit is built for long-lasting professional performance. Ideal for shaping collection, lift and responsiveness, this moderate bit is well suited to finished horses requiring clear, readable signals and progressive leverage.
