TRUST Mors à aiguilles droit Flexi Soft

Trust straight bit: symmetrical, safe contact for your horse's mouth

The straight needle bit ensures constant, symmetrical contact. In practical terms for your horse, this configuration avoids pinching on the tongue and distributes the action evenly on both sides. It's particularly suited to horses that have difficulty with articulated bits, or to young horses discovering their mouthpiece.

The straight barrel exerts direct pressure on the tongue and bars, while leaving the palate free. What really changes on the trail is confidence: your horse accepts contact better, settles down more easily and tenses up without apprehension. A light grip also promotes more fluid locomotion, thanks to better engagement of the hindquarters.

The needles provide excellent lateral guidance and make the hand action clearer in the mouth. The result: greater precision, with a clearer message for your horse.

Innosense Flexi Soft resin: comfort and flexibility for young, sensitive horses

The Innosense resin in Trust bits is smooth and soft to the touch. In practice, in the saddle, it's this comfort that makes the difference: it limits irritation, even for horses with sensitive mouths or those who don't salivate much.

The metal axle provides suppleness while maintaining a firm grip on the bit. In practical terms for your horse, the shape remains stable in the mouth without becoming hard with use. The resin is made of food-grade plastic: a reassuring choice for frequent contact with mucous membranes.

The soft version generally encourages a horse to come and rest on its hand. This is preferable if your horse is looking for comfort and tolerance in contact, whereas a more rigid resin is more suitable for a horse with a tendency to take a firm hold.

Straight barrel and needles: why this bit is suitable for horses with difficulties

The first thing to look at is how the symmetrical contact works. With no central articulation, the straight barrel eliminates the shearing effect on the tongue. The needles provide precise lateral guidance: direction becomes clearer, especially on a horse that's still green or easily hesitated.

I prefer this type of bit when a horse is defending himself on a simple break, contracting his jaw or lacking stability in his mouth. The straight Innosense Flexi Soft bit provides a fixed frame, with no moving parts to surprise the horse.

Care and safety: tips for preserving your Trust bit

Please note: even robust Innosense resin is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty against wear and tear due to repeated biting. For your horse, a damaged bit can create points of aggression on the bars, tongue or palate. Regularly check the condition of the resin to spot any micro-cracks or eroded areas.

Ideal for beginners or sensitive horses, the straight Trust Flexi Soft bit provides a secure, even contact. You'll also find our other Innosense bits and riding equipment in store or online, with fast delivery in Switzerland from our 5 sales outlets.
