Thinking about buying running martingale for my ottb. Thinking of getting detachable so I can use the breastplate for dressage and martingale for jumping what are your thoughts? Also any suggestions on an affordable good quality one
If you're going to event with it you might want one with elastic. A lesson horse at the barn I used to board at had this one - it's nice for the price: Crump Chetak Elastic Breastplate: Legacy Tack
Unless you want black to for dressage... then i'd have to look more
She doesn't throw her head excessively currently just once in a while but she is just starting to be retrained I wouldn't use it unless I have to but I definitely want the breastplate which is why I was leaning toward the attachment I just didn't know if they were similiar to the regular one or if it has less adjustments
Yep, it's mainly seen at horse trials, not so much at actual dressage shows. At horse trials it seems to be part of the "look" where at dressage shows they're normally only used if the horse truly needs it.
^exactamundo.(love that word btw) I think it looks really cool, and Geof likes to buck in warm up(don't know why) so I'd rather my saddle not slip back!
