Some horses naturally have a relatively thick tongue, little room in the mouth, or show through their behaviour that they need more tongue relief. In such cases, a mouthpiece with a tongue port can help create more comfort and relaxation in the contact. The TRUST Port Medium Eggbutt – Inno Sense combines a stable cheekpiece with a mouthpiece that offers extra room for the tongue, creating a calm, consistent connection that helps many horses lean into the contact with more trust and relaxation.

The mouthpiece – Port Medium
The Port Medium mouthpiece is unjointed and features a tongue port. This shape creates extra room for the tongue, reducing pressure on the centre of the tongue and distributing it more across the bars.

Many horses respond well to this tongue relief, especially those that naturally have little room in the mouth or are sensitive on the tongue. The mouthpiece supports a calm contact and can contribute to more relaxation in the connection.

The Port Medium mouthpiece is often chosen for:

• Horses with a sensitive tongue
• Horses with a relatively thick tongue
• Horses that stick their tongue out
• Horses that need more room in the mouth

Within the Inno Sense collection, the Port Medium mouthpiece feels slightly firmer than the Flexi Soft mouthpiece, while still retaining a light flexibility for a comfortable action.

The cheekpiece – Eggbutt
The eggbutt cheekpiece is known for its fixed, stable construction. Because the rings don't move freely through the mouthpiece, the bit lies more quietly in the mouth. This provides:

• A stable and consistent contact
• Less movement of the mouthpiece
• Clear and refined communication
• More confidence for sensitive horses

The stable position makes this cheekpiece particularly suitable for horses that benefit from calm, clarity, and a constant connection with the hand.

The material – Inno Sense
Inno Sense is a synthetic material that has been carefully developed and extensively tested. It is free of harmful substances and contains no plasticizers. Compared to traditional metal/steel mouthpieces, Inno Sense feels significantly softer and warmer. Many sensitive horses, horses with a sensitive mouth, or horses with a preference for nonmetal bits respond very positively to it. The material supports relaxation and acceptance, which is essential in the foundation of any training. This creates more length, allowing the horse to more easily seek contact with the hand and creating more calm in the connection.

Suitability
The TRUST Port Medium Eggbutt – Inno Sense is a good choice for horses that need more room for the tongue combined with a stable, consistent position in the mouth. It is a deliberate choice for:

• Horses with a sensitive or thick tongue
• Horses that stick their tongue out
• Horses that need extra tongue relief
• Sensitive horses that benefit from a stable cheekpiece
• Combinations working on relaxation, trust, and harmony in the contact

Thanks to the combination of tongue relief, comfort, and stability, this bit suits a wide range of training stages, from early training to sport.

The TRUST Inno Sense Port Medium Eggbutt is currently permitted under KNHS and FEI regulations for dressage, jumping, and eventing.

For specific uses, such as as a bradoon within a double bridle, we always recommend checking the most current national and international competition rules.
