ERIC THOMAS PRO Ring martingale images
Adjustable leather ring martingale, ideal for channeling your horse's neck. Sliding rings and buckle adjustment provide a precise fit, to maintain contact without hardening the hand.
This buckle-adjustable ring martingale limits your horse's sudden head movements. For your horse, this helps stabilize contact without creating excessive blockage.
The sliding rings attach to the reins and accompany the hand action. In practice, what really changes in the saddle is a more gradual action, useful for repositioning a horse that stands up strongly.
Made from Australian cowhide, it remains supple in use and holds up well over time. What the data sheet doesn't say is that this type of leather keeps a good grip and withstands regular sessions better.
Oil new leathers with an oil such as ox foot oil. Regular cleaning with glycerine soap and the addition of balsam or grease will keep the leather supple and working well without drying out.
A good choice if your horse has a tendency to lift his head a lot, or if you're looking for a measured rein for classic riding. The most important thing to look for is the right setting: the martingale should accompany the attitude, not constrain the balance.
