Stretch Gel Martingale Stop by Zilco

The Zilco Stretch Gel Martingale Stop is built with an innovative stretch-gel material that offers superior grip and comfort over standard rubber stops. It is sized to fit martingale neck strap and chest strap junctions, ensuring the neck strap stays securely in place while riding or racing. The gel construction allows for easier fitting, better conforming to strap shapes and edges, and enhanced durability under tension. The product is presented in black colour and sold each. 

Usage

Target Species: Horses

Application: Used with martingales (running or standing) to maintain the position of the neck strap and prevent slippage or movement of the martingale hardware during training or competition.

Method:

• Identify the junction of the neck strap and chest strap on your martingale setup.

• Slide the gel stop over the junction so that it sits across both straps, ensuring it covers where the neck strap meets the chest strap.

• Ensure the gel stop grips the webbing, strap or fixture snugly and remains correctly positioned when the martingale is under tension.

• After use, inspect the gel stop for any damage, clean it if needed (wipe off sweat/dirt), allow it to air dry, and store it in a dry tack area.

Frequency:

• Suitable for every ride where a martingale is used and control of strap positioning is vital (e.g., in racing, galloping, jumping).

• Inspect before each session; replace the stop if it shows signs of stretching, degradation, or loss of grip.

Features and Benefits

• Stretch gel material: Offers better grip and conforming fit compared to standard rubber stops, improving strap stability.

• Designed for the martingale junction (neck strap/chest strap): Keeps the martingale hardware correctly positioned and reduces movement or slippage.

• Black colour, sold individually: Discreet, professional appearance that matches most tack and allows incremental replacement.

• Easy to fit and maintain: Simple to slide onto existing straps, clean with a wipe, and integrate into standard tack routines without modification.
