FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Kudos Running Martingale?

The primary benefit is the ability to quickly and easily attach or detach the martingale rings without needing to undo the reins, saving time and effort during tacking up or changing equipment.

Is the LeMieux Kudos Running Martingale suitable for all horses?

The martingale is adjustable at the neck and features padding at the wither, designed for comfort. However, its effectiveness and fit depend on the individual horse's conformation and the rider's specific needs. It's recommended for horses that benefit from martingale control.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the martingale is used regularly in adverse weather conditions or shows signs of drying.

Can the rein attachments be removed if I don't need them?

Yes, the rein attachments are detachable, allowing you to remove them if they are not required for your riding setup or discipline.

What type of leather is used?

The LeMieux Kudos Running Martingale is crafted from exceptionally soft, supple European leather.

How do I clean the silver hardware?

Clean the silver attachments with a soft, dry cloth. For minor tarnishing, a specialized metal polish for equestrian hardware can be used sparingly, followed by buffing with a clean cloth.

Does this martingale come in other colors?

Yes, while this guide focuses on the Brown version, sibling products are available in other colors, such as Silver.

Troubleshooting

Martingale rings are difficult to clip on/off

Ensure the rings and their attachment points are clean and free from dirt or debris. If the issue persists, check for any warping or damage to the rings.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a generous amount of quality leather conditioner. Allow it to absorb fully, then buff gently. Repeat if necessary.

Padding at the wither feels too thick or restrictive

Ensure the neck strap is adjusted correctly. The padding is designed for comfort; if it feels restrictive, the overall fit of the martingale may need adjustment.

Silver attachments show signs of tarnishing

Clean the silver attachments with a soft cloth and a mild metal polish suitable for equestrian hardware. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
