Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure this martingale is adjusted correctly for my horse's safety?
A: When attached to the girth and pulled upward, the rings should just reach the horse's withers or throatlatch. Additionally, ensure you can fit a flat hand or fist (approx. 4 inches) between the neck strap and the horse’s crest to prevent restricted breathing or movement.

Q: Can I use this martingale with any set of reins?
A: While compatible with most reins, this running martingale requires the use of rein stops (rubber or leather sliders). These prevent the rings from sliding too far forward and getting caught on the bit or rein buckles, which is a critical safety requirement.
