Jeffries Wembley Running Martingale
The running Martingale consists of a strap which is attached to the girth and passes between the horse's front legs before dividing into two pieces. At the end of each of these straps is a small metal ring through which the reins pass. It is held in the correct position by a neck strap or breastplate.
A running martingale is adjused so that each of the forks has about an inch of slack when the horse holds its head in the normal position. The reins make a straight line from the rider's hand to the bit ring when the horse's head is at the correct height and the running martingale is not in effect.
When the horse raises its head above the desired point, the running martingale adds leverage through the reins to the bit on the bars of the horse's mouth. The leverage created by this pressure strongly encourages the horse to lower its head. A running martingale provides more freedom for the horse than a standing marting. If a horse happens to trip on landing after a fence, the rider can slide the reins and the horse will have full use of its head and neck.
