Market Harborough Martingale
"The Market Harborough for horses is a leather training aid that includes reins. This one is in Fantastic condition as hardly used. Bought for my pony but he's now been sold and we now have a horse. Black Leather... really good quality. HAPPY TO POST Why Use It? The market harborough for horses training aid works like a running martingale when the horse is working correctly, but when needed the horses head is drawn down and onto the bit, it works a bit like draw reins but it allows more freedom of the horses neck and back. The Market Harborough for horses is extremely useful when used on horses that have a tendency to be over strong and so is brilliant for adding control, particularly on horses which fling their heads up when approaching a jump. It does not restrict the horse's natural head/neck back movement over the jump so is particularly good for jumping or just for peace of mind during everyday use. It is a valuable training aid when used for schooling as it fits around the horses neck like a standard running martingale with the usual adjustment that you would find on a martingale. Instead of the martingale having 2 rings for the reins to run through, each branch which is slightly longer than in a martingale, ends in a clip. The Market Harborough reins have d rings along them and the clips are run through the bit rings and clip back to the appropriate D ring on the reins. The market harborough for horses has been used for generations and is permitted for use in many competitions." Read More
