The Showman® Western Shank with Cathedral Correction Mouthpiece is designed for riders seeking precision and balance in their horse's performance. This bit is more than just a tool; it's a communicator, helping to refine cues and signals between rider and horse. With its striking 5" stainless-steel mouthpiece accented by copper inlays, it not only looks elegant but also functions effectively by encouraging salivation, keeping the horse comfortable and responsive during rides.
What sets this bit apart is its cathedral correctional mouthpiece with a ported design. When reins are engaged, the mouthpiece gently collapses, creating two points of pressure on the horse's tongue, while a flat plate tips forward to add a light pressure to the palate. This dynamic movement offers a unique mix of control and sensitivity, ideal for advanced riders working on finesse. It's a perfect solution for horses that need some fine-tuning in their training.
The 6.75" stainless-steel cheeks provide just the right amount of leverage for the rider, offering both control and subtlety in equal measure. The balance of pressure across the outer lip, bars, and tongue encourages the horse to engage correctly and respond to light cues. It's especially effective for horses that need a more refined bit without being too severe, making it a go-to choice for both show and performance.
Designed for functionality and rider-horse communication, the copper inlays of the mouthpiece also play a crucial role in ensuring comfort. By promoting salivation, the bit encourages the horse to relax and accept the mouthpiece without resistance. This combination of comfort, control, and craftsmanship makes the Showman® Western Shank bit a reliable partner in any riding scenario.
