The "5" way breastplate is useful to keep the saddle from moving back; by means of steel carabiners hooked directly to the staples, to the abutments and to the girth . The martingale attachment limits the upward movements of the head by acting on the mouth, through the reins .
The reins that fit into the martingale attachment must be used with the olives (code VA00100), rubber or leather stops inserted on the reins between the mouth and the ring of the martingale attachment . If the olives are not used, the running martingale can slip forward and get caught in the bit ring, blocking the horse's head and risking him falling.
The different buckles with numerous holes and hooks make the fastening and adjustment perfect for every type of horse.
