Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attach the main martingale straps to the girth at one end and the D-rings of the saddle at the other, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit.
- Adjust the neck strap so it sits comfortably around the horse's neck.
- Clip the custom martingale rings onto the designated points on the martingale arms.
- Attach the reins to the martingale rings. Ensure rein attachments are used if required for your discipline.
Compatibility:
This martingale is designed to be compatible with most standard saddles and bridles. The detachable rein attachments allow for use with various types of reins. It is most effective when used with a suitable girth and breastplate that has appropriate attachment points.
Care:
- Clean the leather regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat.
- Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure all fittings are clean and free from debris before use.
