Check that all buckles are properly secured and that the girth strap is correctly threaded through the keeper.

Use a specialized metal polish cloth to clean the stainless steel hardware to restore its high-shine finish.
To set up your martingale, first attach the girth strap through the girth loop, then adjust the neck strap so that the chest piece sits comfortably against the horse's chest without restricting movement. Ensure the two rings through which the reins pass are positioned correctly at the horse's chest level. For compatibility, this piece is designed to be used with standard running martingale reins. Regarding care, always wipe the leather down after each use to remove sweat or dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, and periodically check the integrity of the stitching and the stainless steel buckles for any signs of wear.
