Inno Sense hackamore combi short flexi soft

• Combination of nose and mouth action for refined control
• Flexi Soft mouthpiece for a comfortable action
• Short shanks for a more subtle leverage effect

Some horses are sensitive in the mouth but respond well to pressure on the nose. Other horses can become enthusiastic or strong in the arena, making extra refinement in communication desirable. In such cases, a combination of mouth and nose action can be a valuable solution.

The TRUST Flexi Soft Hackamore Combi Short – Inno Sense is designed to provide this balance: comfort in the mouth combined with the additional influence of a hackamore.

The mouthpiece – Flexi Soft

The Flexi Soft mouthpiece is unjointed and made of high-quality synthetic material with a flexible metal core. This ensures that the mouthpiece retains its shape while remaining exceptionally flexible and gentle in its action.

Its soft, even pressure makes this mouthpiece particularly suitable for:
• Sensitive-mouthed horses
• Young horses in training
• Horses that tend to evade the contact / come behind the vertical

Thanks to its comfortable nature, the Flexi Soft mouthpiece supports relaxation and acceptance without sharp or jointed pressure points.

The cheekpiece – Hackamore Combi Short

The Hackamore Combi Short cheekpiece combines the action of a hackamore with that of a bit. Pressure is distributed over:
• The mouth
• The nose
• The chin (via the curb chain)

Thanks to the shorter shanks, this version offers a more subtle leverage effect than longer variants. This makes it a balanced option within the hackamore-combi category. The adjustable screw above the mouthpiece allows the nose pressure to be finely tuned to the individual needs of the horse.

This design can be particularly effective for:
• Enthusiastic or strong horses in jumping or eventing
• Horses that respond better to nose aids than mouth aids alone
• Situations where more control and refinement are required

The material – Inno Sense

The Inno Sense material is carefully developed and tested, free from harmful substances, and contains no plasticizers. It feels significantly softer than metal and is well accepted by many horses with sensitive mouths. By combining flexibility and comfort, the material supports a relaxed jaw and improved acceptance of the contact, even in horses that traditionally struggle with metal bits.

Suitability

The TRUST Inno Sense Hackamore Combi Short with Flexi Soft mouthpiece is especially suitable for:
• Sensitive yet strong horses that benefit from additional control while maintaining softness in the contact
• Horses with sensitive mouths
• Enthusiastic or strong horses in show jumping or eventing
• Horses that respond positively to additional nose pressure
• Combinations seeking extra control while preserving softness

The bit offers a well-considered pressure distribution that can help address specific training challenges while keeping comfort and acceptance central. Riders who wish to soften the nose action slightly can add a sheepskin cover or Vetrap bandaging tape to the noseband.

Hackamore combinations are not permitted in all disciplines and levels under FEI regulations. Always check the most up-to-date FEI and national competition rules.
