Complete your horse’s tack with the smart and traditional John Whitaker Barton Leather Martingale, available in Black or Havana.
Made from durable, soft and supple genuine leather, the Barton Martingale combines a comfortable feel with the classic appearance expected from quality English-style tack. Its clean design makes it suitable for everyday schooling, hacking, clinics and competitions where martingales are permitted.
The leather has a glossy Italian-style finish that gives the martingale a refined appearance without excessive decoration. Tonal stitching complements the leather colour, creating a neat and coordinated finish that pairs naturally with other products from the John Whitaker Barton range.
Adjustable leather straps allow the martingale to be fitted to the individual horse. Correct adjustment is essential: it should remain secure without restricting the horse’s natural movement or interfering with the reins when the horse is working normally.
The two rein rings allow the reins to pass through the martingale branches. Rein stops should always be fitted between the bit and martingale rings to prevent the rings from catching on the rein buckles or billet fastenings.
Available in Pony, Cob and Full sizes, the Barton Martingale can be coordinated with black or Havana bridles, reins and other matching leatherwork.

Size Chart
Size General Fit Guidance Pony Smaller ponies and finer equines Cob Larger ponies, cobs and fine-to-medium horses Full Most full-sized horses and broader equines Important Sizing Note Height and breed do not guarantee the correct martingale size. A broad pony may require Cob, while a fine horse may fit Cob rather than Full. The complete fit should be checked on the individual animal. How to Check the Fit Fit the horse’s bridle and reins correctly. Position the martingale around the horse according to its design. Adjust the lower strap so it remains secure without hanging excessively low. Check that the leather lies flat and is not twisted. Pass each rein through the corresponding martingale ring. Fit rein stops between the bit and martingale rings. Adjust the branches so they do not pull the reins down during normal contact. Allow the horse to stretch its head and neck forwards. Check the fit at walk and trot. Ask an experienced instructor to assess the adjustment when uncertain. The martingale must not restrict normal movement, breathing or rein contact.* In Stock - Next Day Delivery - On Orders Placed Before 12 Noon *
