JP :>    I used the running martingale on Daisy when I trained
JP :>her, Meg ...... martingales are not allowed to be used in
JP :>the shows. The horses learn pretty fast that if they keep
JP :>their heads down in position it doesn't pull on them .....
Well, the correct length for a running martingale that I've always believed 
is just long enough so that you can push the martingale up to the 
throatlatch.  Somehow, that doesn't seem short enough to me to be effective 
for Western pleasure headset....do you guys use it shorter than that?
