Dampen sudden shocks with responsive, high-flex elasticity. The EcoRider Elasticated Martingale Attachment is designed to convert standard breastplates or martingales into pressure-relieving, shock-absorbing training systems.
Hand-crafted with our premium, vegetable-tanned EcoLeather and deeply hand-treated with EcoRider's natural beeswax formula, this running martingale attachment features heavy-duty elasticated straps. By substituting rigid leather with responsive elastic, this attachment absorbs sudden head-tossing and bit tension, promoting a significantly softer, more consistent contact with the horse's mouth.
Key Performance Features:
- Shock-Absorbing Elastication: Heavy-duty, high-tension elasticated panels flex dynamically, dampening sudden head-tossing and preventing sharp, jarring pressure on the bit.
- Supple EcoLeather Billet: Naturally vegetable-tanned to REACH standards, developing a gorgeous patina while providing elite strength and immediate suppleness.
- Polished Stainless Steel Fittings: Equipped with high-polish, rust-resistant stainless steel rein rings that allow reins to glide smoothly.
- Easy Clip-On Compatibility: Features a secure, heavy-duty loop that attaches cleanly to standard breastplate and martingale chest rings.
- Durable & Low-Maintenance: Built to withstand heavy daily schooling or high-stakes jumping, and is exceptionally easy to clean.

Anatomical Configuration
When a horse tosses its head, a standard rigid leather martingale snaps tight, concentrating sharp pressure on the sensitive bars of the mouth. This sudden, unyielding shock often causes defensive resistance, teeth grinding, and poll tension. The Elasticated Martingale Attachment integrates soft elasticated panels that stretch dynamically, dampening sudden head movements and absorbing the shock before it reaches the bit—promoting a softer wrist and an elastic connection.
Material Integrity & Care
Dynamic Fit Tip
💡 Pro-Tip: Adjust your martingale so that when the horse's head is in a natural position, the martingale rings can reach up to the horse's throat lash without pulling the reins down. Ensure the elastic is clean and free of sweat build-up to maintain its responsive flexibility.
