TRUST Inno Sense gags combine a kind, tongue-friendly synthetic mouthpiece with a cheek design that adds lift and poll influence for educated hands. The result is clearer half-halts and better balance for keen horses while keeping a soft, consistent feel.
Gag cheeks route the rein to apply upward lift at the mouth corners and a degree of poll pressure via the headpiece. Used correctly, this helps rebalance the frame without relying on stronger hand pressure—ideal for horses that get long or heavy between fences or in open spaces.
Choose Flexi Soft for the warmest, most forgiving feel; Medium for a touch more stability; Hard for the firmest definition while staying smooth. A straight Mullen spreads pressure evenly; a Port provides tongue room for horses that press or show sensitivity.
Ride with two reins (one on the main ring, one on the gag ring) for fine control, or a single rein on the lower ring when you need a clearer lift. Bit converters are an option but reduce nuance. Always pick the mildest arrangement that delivers consistent responses.
Measure width between the inside edges of the rings/cheeks and allow slight clearance at the lips. Ensure the cheek pieces and gag guides run freely and the bit sits quiet in the mouth. Match thickness and flexibility to palate height and tongue volume.
Rinse after riding, clean gently with mild soap and avoid abrasives or high heat. Check the synthetic surface for tooth marks, confirm any core/attachments are sound, and replace if the mouthpiece shows damage.

When should I consider an Inno Sense gag?
When you need a little extra lift and balance—such as with forward, heavy or long horses—while keeping a soft, tongue-friendly mouthpiece that many accept readily.
Should I use one rein or two on a gag?
Two reins give the most control (main ring for normal contact, gag ring for lift when needed). A single rein on the lower ring increases effect but reduces nuance; choose the mildest set-up that works.
Which mouthpiece: Mullen or Port?
Mullen spreads pressure evenly for a quiet, steady feel. A Port adds tongue relief and can help horses that press on the bit or show tongue sensitivity. Pick the lightest option that maintains relaxed, elastic contact.
Are gag bits competition-legal?
Many classes allow certain gag cheeks, but rules vary by discipline and federation. Always check current regulations before competing.
