Ascot Running Martingale

A Running Martingale consists of a 1/2″(13mm) neck strap and a second strap, 1″(25mm) wide, which is attached to the girth and passes between the horses front legs before dividing into two pieces. At the end of each of these straps is a small metal ring through which the reins pass.

When the horse carries its head in the correct position no pressure is felt. However, should the horse raise its head the martingale will restrict the movement of the reins, which in turn causes the bit to bear down on the bars of the horses mouth.

We recommend the martingale is used with rubber rein stops, which are located on the rein between the bit & the Martingale ring.
