Review on Weaver Leather Working Barrel Martingale by Eric Nelson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Reiner too short

I love Weaver products so thought the German martingale system would be another nice one. However, the rein with the martingale rings is MUCH short. My horse is 15.2 and even when I was riding with my hands bent forward, the reins were too short. It should be 18-24 inches longer. I would also recommend going with a neck strap so the martingale doesn't hang too low and get caught on the forefoot. The quality of the leather is excellent so I will find a way to make it work by adding some length.

Pros
  • Adjustable reins on reins
Cons
  • boring packaging
