Trust Inno Sense loose ring gag flexi soft-20

Inno Sense

Trust’s Inno Sense bits are the ideal choice for young or sensitive horses. Made from FDA-approved, non-toxic plastic without plasticisers, they offer a soft and comfortable alternative to traditional metal mouthpieces. Many horses accept the bit quickly and follow the rider’s hand with ease.

Inno Sense mouthpieces are available in two thicknesses — indicated in the product name by number. The 15 mm version is the slim fit design—ideal for horses with smaller mouths or when used in a double bridle combination. The 20 mm version is our standard thickness and suits a wide range of horses.

Proper placement on the bars—the toothless part of the jaw—prevents contact with teeth or molars. However, damage from biting can occur in horses with dental issues or those that lift the bit with their tongue. While TRUST Equestrian guarantees the quality and workmanship of Inno Sense bits, damage caused by biting is not covered under warranty.

Every horse is different, and selecting the right bit plays a key role in comfort, communication, and performance. A properly fitted bit prevents pressure points, slipping, and discomfort—helping your horse stay soft, responsive, and confident in the contact.

Loose Ring

The Loose Ring cheekpiece features loose-moving rings that slide freely through the mouthpiece. This design allows the bit to move more independently in the horse’s mouth, resulting in softer rein aids and a more refined connection. It encourages movement and mouth activity, which can be beneficial for horses that prefer a bit more freedom.

Because the rings are not fixed, there is a risk of pinching. To prevent discomfort, the use of rubber bit guards is recommended.

For riders with a stable and quiet hand, the Loose Ring can be an excellent choice. However, for those who tend to have a less steady hand, the Eggbutt cheekpiece might be a better option to maintain a calm and consistent position in the horse’s mouth.

Gag

The gag bit is designed to encourage the horse to raise its head. The main pressure points are located just behind the ears (on the poll) and in the corners of the mouth. The gag cheekpiece can be used with one or two reins, but is most commonly used with two: one attached to the large ring and the other to the running gag ring. This allows the rider to better control the gag effect.

Please note: the standard bridle cheekpiece is replaced by the gag cheekpiece. Due to the pressure this bit can exert on the poll, it should only be used by experienced riders or under the supervision of a trainer. Caution is essential to ensure the horse’s comfort and safety.

Flexi Soft

The Inno Sense Flexi Soft is made of elastic synthetic material with a flexible metal core for stability. Its soft, flexible design makes it a gentle bit that many horses accept easily. This bit is ideal for sensitive mouths but may offer too little control for very strong horses.
