{"product_id":"curved-shank-with-slow-twist-correction-hinge","title":"Curved Shank with Slow Twist Correction Hinge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Curved Shank delivers a smooth pickup, a quick reset, and a centered, balanced feel that keeps communication steady and readable. Its back-set profile softens the initial touch, helping the rider shape lift, rate, and alignment without getting heavy in the hand. This cheek style supports refinement by offering leverage that engages cleanly while still staying soft enough for horses that appreciate a more forgiving first signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouthpiece pairs slow-twist bars with a hinged correction center for a blend of definition, lift, and lateral clarity. The slow twist increases bar feel without the sharp intensity of a fast twist, giving riders a clearer boundary when tuning horses that tend to lean. The hinged correction port allows each side to move independently, promoting cleaner bend, shoulder control, and precise vertical lift. Polished edges and a balanced mouth feel help maintain acceptance while still delivering a firm, responsive feel best suited to confident, experienced hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-twist bars provide more defined bar contact without the bite of a fast twist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHinged correction port offers vertical lift and independent side action for refined cues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved shank (7\") delivers balanced leverage, a centered feel, and a clean pickup\/reset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm, precise feel suited to tuned, responsive horses and experienced riders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for shaping lift, bend, shoulder control, rate, and overall alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement \/ Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" slow-twist hinged correction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePort Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1 1\/2\" \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePort Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShank Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurved Shank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-forged steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBit Severity \/ Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate to firm; precise and defined for tuned horses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLift, bend, shoulder control, rate, refinement, and straightness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SHILOH TACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44899547971766,"sku":"017262279891","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/2637\/6822\/files\/1f0efcb3-2ec1-4210-a556-5a90b7c40a7a.jpg?v=1770763848","url":"https:\/\/trailsendwesternwear.com\/products\/curved-shank-with-slow-twist-correction-hinge","provider":"Trails End Western Wear \u0026 Tack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
