Hi,
I was wondering what the proper fit was for a running martingale? My 6 year old mare wears one, and it occasionally gets caught over the martingale stopper, as i know I have it too loose. From what I can remember from the big horses, I know you don't want it to be pulling the reins down when the horse's head is in normal position, and want about an inch of slack in the martingale when the horse has it's head in the desired position. IS this the same for driving horses?
Thanks,
Amanda
