Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I determine the best size for my horse?
A: For finer-boned horses like Arabians, we recommend the Cob size. Standard Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods typically take a Full, while larger sport horses or draft crosses are best suited for the Extra Full. The dual-point adjustability allows for further fine-tuning once the martingale is on the horse.

Q: Will this martingale restrict my horse's movement over jumps?
A: No, the Avignon German Martingale is designed to provide an immediate pressure-release the moment the horse adopts the correct frame. This makes it ideal for show jumping, as it prevents head flinging without interfering with the horse's natural arc over a fence.
