The Zilco Elastic Bib Martingale is designed to keep reins closer together and prevent them from going over the horse’s head, while offering the flexibility of an elastic insert to reduce restriction. The bib section is attached by a clip so it can be removed if necessary, providing versatility. Made from coated webbing with a synthetic bib-plate, this martingale offers professional functionality with race-day style in a durable, easy-maintain-clean format.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used during flat racing, training sessions or eventing where additional control on rein positioning is beneficial, particularly when the horse tends to raise its head or the reins risk slipping over.
Method:
Fit the martingale by attaching the neck strap behind the horse’s poll and the bib section between the reins.
Clip on the bib plate if you require the full bib effect; unclip if you prefer just the elastic panel alone.
Ensure the martingale is adjusted so that it activates only when the horse elevates its head above the desired angle and does not restrict normal forward movement.
After use, clean off sweat and dirt, inspect the elastic panel and fittings, allow to dry, and store in your tack area.
Frequency:
Suitable for each race, training or high-control session where rein management is important.
Regular inspection is advised to maintain the integrity of the elastic panel and clips.
Combination bib-martingale design: Merges the benefits of a running and Irish martingale controls rein height while maintaining freedom of motion.
Elastic insert panel: Reinforces without excessive rigidity, making the horse more comfortable and responsive.
Detachable bib section via clip: Offers customisation, use the bib for full effect or remove for a simpler elastic-only version.
Durable coated webbing and synthetic bib plate: Easy to clean and robust for race or daily training use.
One size and Black colour: Simplifies selection and matches common race gear colour schemes.
