This is an amazing “once had, can’t live without” product! So simple, but makes such a difference: the martingale to girth attachment ring by Master Saddler Kate Hardt.
Watch the demo-video below. The video shows the attachment clip, which is used on girths with a central D-ring. The martingale attachment ring works exactly the same, just by clicking the ring into the carabiner of your girth.
This clever gadget connects your martingale to a girth that has a carabiner clip in the centre.
Simply buckle it on to your martingale/breast plate/breast girth and then clip the ring on to / off the carabiner clip on your girth.
It is more comfortable for your horse as you are not slipping a leather strap around between your horse and girth which can cause a pressure point on your horse.
And it is safer and quicker to tack up for you! You spend as little time under your horse as necessary plus only one hand is required unlike some other martingale fastenings.
Be warned though – once used you are hooked!
The KHS Martingale Attachment Ring is available in the following variations:
– leather colours: black, brown and chestnut
– ring options: silver-coloured (nickel-plated) or gold-coloured (solid brass)
Please note: you will be adding approx. 4 1/2″ in length between your girth and the end of your martingale, so you may need to buckle the martingale to a shorter position or even punch additional holes to shorten it further.
