As horse and rider progress in their training, the need for increasingly refined communication grows. At higher dressage levels (from Z2/PSG in the Dutch system), a curb bit can help convey aids even more subtly, while the horse's comfort always remains the priority.

The TRUST Port Medium Fixed Dressage Curb Bit – Inno Sense combines a stable cheekpiece with an anatomically shaped mouthpiece that offers extra room for the tongue, creating a bit that supports refined communication without losing sight of the horse's comfort.

The mouthpiece – Port Medium
The Port Medium mouthpiece is unjointed and features an anatomically shaped tongue port. This gives the tongue more room and distributes the action more evenly across the bars.

Many horses find this tongue relief pleasant, especially those with a naturally sensitive or fuller tongue. This can create more relaxation and support a stable, calm connection with the hand.

The Port Medium mouthpiece is often chosen for:

• Horses with a sensitive or thick tongue
• Horses that stick their tongue out
• Horses that need extra tongue relief
• Horses that become more comfortable with less action on the tongue

Within the Inno Sense collection, the Port Medium mouthpiece feels slightly firmer than the Flexi Soft mouthpiece, while thanks to the synthetic material it retains a comfortable, lightly flexible action.

The cheekpiece – Fixed Dressage Curb Bit
The Fixed Dressage Curb Bit is designed for use together with a bradoon as part of a double bridle. Thanks to the fixed connection between mouthpiece and shanks, the bit stays stable, contributing to calm and consistent communication.

Combined with a correctly adjusted curb chain, the dressage curb bit distributes the action across the mouth, the lower jaw, and the poll. This allows aids to be given with great precision, supporting further refinement and collection.

The Fixed Dressage Curb Bit is often chosen by:

• Dressage riders at a higher level (from Z2/PSG)
• Combinations aiming for more refinement in communication
• Horses that respond well to a stable position of the bit

A correctly adjusted curb chain is essential for a calm and balanced action. The dressage curb bit therefore requires an independent seat and a quiet, refined hand.

The material – Inno Sense
Inno Sense material is developed with comfort and acceptance as its starting point. The high-quality synthetic material feels softer than traditional metal bits and is easily accepted by many horses. The slight flexibility contributes to a comfortable action, while the mouthpiece remains sufficiently shape-stable to transmit subtle aids precisely. This makes the material particularly suitable for horses that respond sensitively to metal bits.

Suitability
The TRUST Port Medium Fixed Dressage Curb Bit – Inno Sense was developed for dressage combinations working at a higher training level to further refine their communication. It is a deliberate choice for:

• Horses ready for a double bridle
• Horses that need extra tongue relief
• Dressage riders striving for more precision in their aids
• Combinations wanting to combine comfort and refinement

A dressage curb bit is used together with a bradoon. Always check that this combination meets the current competition regulations for your discipline. As competition regulations may change, we always recommend checking the most current national and international rules.
