Frequently Asked Questions

How does the German martingale actually work to improve my horse's training?

The German martingale is a highly effective training aid primarily designed to help your horse achieve a correct head position, promote flexion at the poll, and encourage a soft give to the bit. It gently applies pressure when your horse raises its head too high or roots against the bit, guiding them into a more favorable, relaxed working position. This action helps improve collection, balance, and hindquarter engagement by encouraging them to round their back and work from behind.

What is the Weaver German Martingale made of? Is it durable?

Absolutely! The Weaver Leather German Martingale is constructed from durable, premium russet harness leather, renowned for its strength and weather resistance. This high-quality leather is often oil-dipped, dressed with butter, and hand-rubbed, ensuring enhanced performance and longevity. It features a robust 1/4" nylon rope that runs through the bit rings and connects to the reins, complemented by sturdy nickel-plated hardware, all built to endure rigorous training sessions.

How do I properly adjust and fit the German martingale for my horse?

Correct adjustment is crucial for the German martingale's effectiveness and your horse's comfort. It features variable positioning dees (rings) on the reins and an adjustable strap that runs between your horse's front legs. The key is to ensure it's loose enough to allow your horse its natural head carriage when in proper position, only activating when they raise their head out of position. Pressure should release immediately when your horse flexes correctly, rewarding the desired response. Experiment with the dee ring placement on the reins to find the optimal level of leverage for your horse.

Are there any best practices or things to avoid when using this training aid?

Yes, it's vital to remember that the German martingale is a training aid, not a tool for force. Always use soft, steady hands and ensure the martingale releases pressure as soon as your horse responds correctly. Avoid forcing your horse into an unnatural position. It's generally recommended to use this martingale with smooth or twisted mouthpiece snaffle bits, or snaffle bits without shanks. This aid is primarily for training and schooling; it is typically not permitted in most equestrian competitions.
