Product Information
Full details
The Hy Martingale Stop is an essential piece of equestrian equipment designed for riders who need to maintain the correct positioning of their martingale attachments. It is ideal for riders of all skill levels, providing increased security by preventing the martingale from sliding too far up the horse's neck. While it offers excellent functionality, users should note that it is crafted from rubber and requires routine inspection to ensure the material remains supple and free from cracks over long-term use.

FAQs
Will this fit a pony-sized martingale?
Yes, the rubber material is flexible enough to accommodate various strap widths found on pony and horse-sized martingales.
Is this product safe to leave on the horse overnight?
It is generally recommended to remove all tack, including martingale stops, when the horse is unattended in the stable.
Can I use this with a leather martingale?
Absolutely. It is designed specifically to work with standard leather martingale components.
How often should I replace the martingale stop?
Inspect it regularly; replace it if you notice any splits, cracks, or if it loses its elasticity.
Is the black color permanent?
Yes, the black rubber is color-fast, though it may fade slightly over years of heavy exposure to direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The martingale stop is sliding out of position
Ensure the stop is pressed firmly against the ring and that it is not being obstructed by keepers or loose leather straps.
Difficult to slide onto the martingale strap
Apply a very small amount of leather conditioner or water to the strap to help the rubber slide into position more easily.
Pros and Cons

- Durable material resists moisture and dirt

- Discreet black color blends with most tack sets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: slide the stop onto the neck strap or the martingale loop before attaching it to the saddle. Ensure it is placed firmly against the ring to act as a blocker. This device is compatible with most standard English-style martingales. For care, wipe the stop with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat or dust. Periodically check the rubber for signs of brittleness or cracking, especially if the horse is kept in an outdoor environment, and replace it if the structural integrity is compromised.
