Breastplates and martingales

Breastplates, martingales, and fork attachments are key accessories in equestrian gear, designed to enhance control and stability during riding. The breastplate attaches to the saddle and wraps around the horse's chest to prevent the saddle from slipping backward. The martingale, available in fixed or elastic versions, is used to regulate the horse's head height and keep the reins in the correct position, preventing unwanted upward head movement. The fork, often part of an elastic martingale, helps distribute pressure and maintain the reins in the correct direction. These aids are essential for riders focused on jumping or cross-country riding, where maximum control and safety are crucial.
