Best Answer

If your horse is really determined to rear, probably not. A martingale is not a good solution however, because it does not solve the problem, it just covers it up, kind of like a bandaid sort of. If you have checked for any paint he horse might be in, like a poor fitting saddle, a wolf tooth, ect. What works really well with rearing horses is when they rear up, pop them right between the ears to make them think they hit their head on something. How long they have been rearing will determine how many times you have to do it before they stop rearing for fear of hitting themselves.

It keeps the horse's head from going down so it can't buck. It is used for flat work and jumping under 4ft. The other one is a running martingale. It keeps the horse's head from going down. It is used for jumping over 4ft.

What is the difference between a martingale and breast collar for horses?

A breast collar is used for the sole purpose of helping to keep the saddle from twisting around on a horses back. It helps with horses that don't have very prominent whithers, and barrel racers and other such sports use them because they turn at fast speeds. The breast collar helps prevents the saddle from slipping to the side. A martingale is used when a horse constantly throws his head up, and the rider can't keep a horse's head down, so they use the tool instead of actually training the horse to not throw it's head up.

On a saddle what has the sole porpose of keeping the reins from going over the horse's head?

There is nothing ON the saddle that will prevent the reins from going over the horse's head in a fall. However, a piece of tack called an Irish Martingale can be used. An Irish Martingale is simply a piece of leather with two rings on each side. To use it, you would unbuckle the reins, slip each rein through its respective ring, position the 'martingale' in front of the horse's neck, and then refasten the reins on the horse's neck. For those horse people who are familiar with the term 'martingale', an Irish Martingale isn't actually a training aid, like other martingales, it's just given the name.
