Rubber Martingale Stop

The Rubber Martingale Stop is a small but important piece of equestrian tack designed to help keep the neck strap of a martingale correctly positioned on the main strap.

Made from strong, stretchy rubber, the martingale stop fits at the intersection where the neck strap crosses the main martingale strap. It holds the two straps together and helps prevent the neck strap from sliding excessively up and down the main strap during use.

Simple, durable and practical, it is a useful replacement part for compatible martingales.

What Does a Martingale Stop Do?

A martingale stop is positioned where the neck strap crosses the main martingale strap.

Without a stop, the neck strap can slide along the main strap rather than remaining in its intended position.

The rubber stop holds the two sections together at the crossing point, helping keep the martingale correctly organised during use.

Martingale Stop vs Rein Stops

Although they are both commonly made from rubber, a martingale stop and rein stops perform different jobs.

A martingale stop is fitted to the martingale itself and helps hold the neck strap in position.

Rein stops are fitted to the reins and help prevent the rings of a running martingale from sliding up and catching on rein buckles or fittings.

If using a running martingale, your tack setup may require both martingale and rein stops.

How to Fit

The rubber martingale stop fits onto the martingale at the point where the neck strap and main strap intersect.

The two straps pass through the stop at an angle so that the stop holds them together while allowing the martingale to sit correctly.

Because martingale designs and strap widths vary, check that the stop is compatible with your particular equipment and that the martingale is correctly fitted before riding.
