Leather Care: Protecting Your Investment

To ensure your Signature Series Martingale maintains its suppleness and rich cognac luster for years to come, we recommend the following care routine:

• Initial Softening: Because this is authentic, high-grade English leather, it may arrive with a firm feel. A light coat of high-quality leather oil will immediately soften the fibers and, if desired, begin the darkening process to your preferred shade.

• Post-Ride Maintenance: After each use, wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove sweat and salt, which can dry out the hide.

• Deep Conditioning: Once a month, apply a premium leather balsam. This penetrates the "round raised" sections, keeping the internal padding flexible and preventing the leather from cracking at the stitch lines.

• Hardware Care: Use a soft cloth to buff the nickel-finished hardware to prevent buildup and maintain that show-ring shine.

Why "Round Raised" Matters 

While "flat" tack is functional, Round Raising is a hallmark of premium saddlery. It involves inserting a shaped leather filler between the top and bottom layers of the strap before stitching.

1. Structural Integrity: This creates a reinforced core that prevents the martingale from stretching or thinning over time under the tension of the reins.

2. Anatomical Profile: The raised edges allow the piece to sit more flush against the horse's chest and neck, reducing the "flap" or movement of the tack during high-speed jumping or galloping.
