FAQs

How do I know if the martingale is the correct size?

When the horse is standing in a neutral position, you should be able to comfortably fit the width of your hand between the horse's neck and the neck strap.

Can this martingale be used for jumping?

Yes, it is designed for exercise and training, making it suitable for both flatwork and jumping, provided it is adjusted to allow the horse enough range of motion.

What is the best way to store the leather?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the leather to crack over time.

Does this product include the reins?

No, the Mackey Classic Running Martingale is sold as a standalone piece of equipment and does not include reins or a bridle.

How often should I clean the martingale?

It is recommended to wipe it down after every ride and perform a deep conditioning treatment weekly.

Troubleshooting

Martingale rings are sticking during movement

Clean the leather thoroughly and ensure there is no debris or buildup inside the rings; apply a light leather conditioner.

Leather is becoming stiff or brittle

Deep clean the leather with saddle soap and apply a quality leather oil or conditioner to restore suppleness.

Martingale slides too far forward

Ensure the neck strap is tightened correctly and that the martingale is properly secured through the girth strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the martingale, attach the neck strap around the base of the horse's neck and thread the girth through the bottom loop. Connect the two rings to the reins by unbuckling the reins from the bit and threading them through. Always check that the martingale is not too short, as this can impede the horse's ability to balance itself, especially over fences. For care, wipe the leather down after every use to remove sweat and dirt. Use a high-quality leather conditioner at least once a week to prevent the material from drying out or cracking. Regularly inspect the stitching and the rings for signs of excessive wear or structural weakness.
