• Mouthpiece: 5″ three-piece smooth dogbone.

Each Showman® bit is forged and finished by hand with solid welds and balanced leverage for professional use. The Long S cheek offers a smooth, rolling signal with progressive leverage that provides a clean pickup, clear release, and balanced feel in the hand. This design helps maintain steady communication without adding weight, making it ideal for shaping bend, guiding rate, and keeping a horse soft through the body.

The smooth dogbone is a three-piece mouthpiece that lies flatter across the tongue, reducing the nutcracker effect common in two-piece snaffles. Its independent side action allows each cheek to move separately, giving riders crisp lateral control, clearer shoulder placement, and a more refined feel for shaping turns and softness.
