Western S Shank Curb Horse Bit, Low Port Copper Roller | Black Stainless Steel S-Shank Leverage Bit with Silver Dots & Tongue Relief Copper Roller Mouthpiece. Fits 5 & 5.5 Inch

The Tacksmith Western S-Shank Curb Bit delivers balanced, predictable leverage for riders looking to refine their communication and transition to neck reining. Featuring a beautifully engineered 6-inch S-shaped shank, this bit smoothly distributes rein pressure to the poll and curb, allowing for precise control with minimal hand movement. It is the ideal tool for western pleasure, trail riding, and ranch work where a light, responsive head carriage is required. The low-port mouthpiece is crafted to provide immediate tongue relief, shifting contact to the bars of the mouth to eliminate head tossing and resistance in sensitive horses. Integrated solid copper rollers actively promote salivation, keeping the horse’s mouth moist, accepting, and soft throughout long rides. Built for heavy daily use, the shanks are constructed from premium 304 stainless steel, finished in a stunning hand-oxidized deep black gloss, and accented with traditional Western silver dots. Unlike traditional iron bits that rust, flake, and corrode over time, this hand-polished 10mm bit retains its pristine finish and structural safety. Available in 5-inch and 5.5-inch widths.

• BALANCED LEVERAGE CONTROL – The 6-inch S-shaped shank translates subtle rein pressure into smooth, proportional leverage across the poll and chin, ideal for neck reining.
• SMOOTH REIN TRANSITION – Designed specifically for horses transitioning from a direct-rein snaffle to a leverage curb bit, allowing clearer signals with less hand movement.
• TONGUE RELIEF LOW PORT – The arched low-port mouthpiece provides comfortable tongue clearance, significantly reducing resistance in horses sensitive to flat bars.
• MOISTURIZING COPPER ROLLERS – Features integrated solid copper rollers that promote natural salivation and consistent mouthing, keeping the jaw soft and relaxed.
• RUST-PROOF BLACK SHANKS – Hand-forged 304 stainless steel shanks with a deep black gloss finish and classic silver dots. Will never rust or corrode like cheap iron bits.
