Some horses just throw up their heads just to be obnoxious- one of the horses I ride does that. He needs a martingale to make sure he’s not throwing up his head and acting like a jerk. It actually controls him pretty well.

well if you think …
well if you think about it, when horses are startled they throw their head up, and the martingale keeps the horse from making that natural movement. i would suggest that the rider laern how to keep the horse under control and keep the horse on the bit rather than use tools like the martingale to restrict the horse’s natural movements.

It restricts the height her head can go.. not restraining her… just stopping her from throughing her head up, avading the bit, etc… i use them on both my mare and new gelding.. they are great! also, if your saddle slips back like both of mine as my horses are changing shape, get a beast plate….. either a standard staright one or a three point… you can get parts of marntingale to attach to them too!

Does anybody know the effects of a running martingale? I’m thinking about getting one for my mare, as she likes to raise her head and jump around. It’s very frustrating.
