Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the Lusso Standing Martingale is fitted correctly?
A: Perform the "throatlash check" by pulling the main strap toward the horse’s jaw; it should just reach the throatlash. Additionally, ensure you can fit a flat hand or 3–4 fingers comfortably between the neck strap and the horse’s neck to prevent pinching during movement.

Q: Is this martingale suitable for all jumping disciplines?
A: While it is the standard for Hunters and Equitation, standing martingales are generally not recommended for Cross-Country or high-level Show Jumping, as they can restrict the horse’s ability to use its neck for balance over large or technical obstacles.
