This piece of equipment should always have martingale stops fitted to each rein so that the rings do not get caught up on the buckle or billet fastenings of the reins where they attach to the bit.
This is a blend of both standing and running martingales. It is basically a running martingale but, where the straps divide, there is an extra ring to which is attached a standing martingale piece. When used on a jumping horse, great care must be taken to ensure that the standing part is correctly fitted so that the horse has enough freedom to jump well. The tandem is a running martingale that, instead of having just one ring at the point were the martingale attaches to the reins, has a two-point contact.
The straps forming the V of the martingale are attached to metal pieces that enable the reins to run through two rings 6 in apart so, instead of the rein being pulled down at one fixed point, the load is spread over a wider area; the idea is that the downward drag on the bars of the mouth is not quite so severe.
This also comes with extra rings so that it can be turned into a conventional running martingale. Running martingale A running martingale is designed to prevent the horse lifting his head too high, and therefore out of the angle of control.

How to use this guide You can either read it from top to bottom or click on the links below to go straight to the section you want. Purpose of a Martingale The Running Martingale The Market Harborough The Standing Martingale Other Martingales Purpose of a Martingale A martingale is a piece of equestrian tack designed to control a horse's head carriage and act as an additional form of control besides, for example, the bit.
The Market Harborough is a much stronger aid than either the standing or running martingale. Rather it stops the reins from coming over the head; therefore reducing the risk of this happening should a rider fall off. Martingales are very good aids to riding and schooling. Many horses do go well if they are wearing them. However, when riding a horse in a martingale, riders must remember that some horses have a tendency to fight against any pressure that is applied to their heads.
This pressure, which they are not used to, may cause them to fall over backwards, therefore great care must be used when using any type of martingale for the first time. Related articles. By British Pet Insurance Services By The Saddle Bank Popular articles.
By Genevieve de Lande Long - Horsemart Horses for Loan. Some horses try to grab the straps of a running martingales in their mouths, in which case a bib martingale where the area between the two straps leading to the reins is filled in with leather would be a better choice. The straps of a running martingale can quite easily get caught when opening and shutting gates, so this is worth keeping an eye out for.
This may be a good choice for horses that fight when feeling the restriction of the martingale. The sliding martingale has a similar action to the running martingale.
