Troubleshooting

Martingale rings are difficult to clip on/off

Ensure the rings are clean and free from debris. Check for any damage to the clip mechanism. Lubricate the clip slightly if needed with a leather-safe product.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a generous coat of leather protection balm and allow it to soak in. Store the martingale away from heat and excessive dryness.

Martingale causes rubbing at the wither

Ensure the neck strap is correctly adjusted and not too tight. Verify the wither padding is sitting correctly. Clean the area and apply a barrier if irritation persists.

Reins are not feeding smoothly through the rings

Check that the reins are correctly threaded and not twisted. Ensure the martingale rings are clean and the internal surface is smooth.
