The Irish martingale
A Martingale is a device used to keep a horse from putting it's head up in the air and avoid bit contact. It is supposed to be used as a training aid but many people rely on them to correct bad riding on their part. A raised Martingale is just how the leather is made with a raised design to it. Western Riders call a Martingale a Tie Down.
The running martingale is a training device used to 'set' the horse's head and aid in the horse bending at the poll and/or keeping him on the bit and not avoiding it. As long as a snaffle bit is used the type of saddle doesn't matter. When used the running martingale make sure to use rein stoppers so the rings on the martingale won't tangle with the bit.
a ring martingale is the circle that is atached to the bit
