The purpose of this design is to act as a combination between a running martingale and irish martingale. The bib acts to hold the reins closer together for more control, and prevents them from going over the horse's head.
Similar to Zilco’s Standard Bib Martingale, this model includes an elasticated panel. This makes the effect a little bit less restrictive.
The bib section is attached by a clip, so that it can be removed if not required.
