How to Use
- Tack up as normal and fit the breastplate or martingale body first.
- Clip or buckle the attachment to the central ring or fitting on the breastplate.
- Secure the lower end to the girth as appropriate for your set-up.
- Adjust the length so the attachment is neither slack nor restrictive when the horse carries its head normally.
- Check every buckle, keeper and billet is fastened, then re-check the adjustment after the first few minutes of work.
- Clean with saddle soap after use and condition the leather to keep it supple.
FAQ
What does a martingale attachment do?
It adds a martingale fitting to a breastplate, or completes a martingale set-up, so the strap can be connected between the breastplate and the girth or reins depending on your configuration.
What is it made from?
It is made using Classic Quality leather with detailed matching stitching and a shaped finish.
Will it fit a pony as well as a horse?
The attachment is adjustable in use and suits horses and ponies. Check your existing breastplate or martingale fittings before ordering so the rings and billets match.
How should the attachment be adjusted?
It should be long enough that it does not restrict the horse when it carries its head in a normal outline, but not so long that it hangs loose and risks catching.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe off sweat and mud after use, clean with saddle soap and apply a leather conditioner. Dry naturally away from direct heat and store in a dry tack room.
When should I replace it?
Inspect the stitching and the leather around the buckle holes regularly and retire the attachment if you find cracking, stretching or broken stitching.
