The Zilco Running Martingale 13 mm is crafted for flat racing environments where minimal bulk and reliable control are required. Made from durable coated synthetic webbing, it features sleek hardware and a narrow profile (13 mm) that suits race bridles and reins. The product is offered in a range of colours, including yellow (in addition to black, navy, red, and white), according to the manufacturer. This martingale lends itself to professional setups where lightweight tack can make a competitive difference, while maintaining durability and rider safety.
Usage
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used during flat racing or training sessions where a running martingale is required to help maintain rein position and control over the head-set without heavy equipment.
Method:
Select the yellow colour variant as preferred.
Fit the martingale by attaching the neck strap behind the horse’s poll, run the martingale rings over the reins, and connect the terminal strap to the girth or saddle D-ring as appropriate.
Adjust the length of the martingale so that it engages only when the horse raises its head past the desired angle—ensuring it doesn’t restrict natural movement during rest or walk.
After use, unclip the martingale, wipe away sweat, dust or debris, inspect the webbing and stitching for wear, let it air-dry, and store it in a dry tack area.
Frequency:
Suitable for every race or training session where this style of martingale is part of the tack list.
Check the condition before each use, and replace if any damage or excessive wear is found.
