The Curved Shank picks up smooth with a quick reset and a centered, balanced feel. Its back-set profile softens the initial touch, helping the rider shape lift, rate, and alignment without getting heavy in the hand. The design keeps communication clean and steady, making it a versatile option for horses that go well in a snaffle but benefit from a little curb leverage for refinement. The single-joint smooth snaffle offers a familiar bar feel with straightforward lateral flex. Its simple, direct action helps maintain softness and bend, while a curb strap adds mild leverage for improved balance, rate, and overall body control. Polished edges keep the mouthpiece comfortable, promoting acceptance and a quiet mouth. Showman® Premium Bits Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use.
