@slidecrazey , it’s risky to use the German martingale with a curb bit. Too much leverage produced.
I’d stick with the snaffle.

Can you use this with a bit or should you always use with a snaffle?

I’m planning on training my gelding to collect using the german martingale, and once he’s used to the idea, return to the full-cheek (french link) bit, since I don’t like the nutcracker effect of the snaffle, or the fact it can be pulled through…. hopefully the martingale teaches him so that when we return to normal reins he will maintain the posture!

Use it every ride …
Use it every ride until your horse is in the habit of responding the way you want.
After that, just use it once in a while for a tune up.

This is an excellent demonstration of the proper use of the german martingale! Mr. Trocha is as gifted at communicating technique with people as he is with applying technique to horses. Certainly a rarity in the horse training business. A “must-see” for those who “must know”.

Hi Larry, Denis …
Hi Larry, Denis here, i’ve been trying the tip you’ve let us seen , and i’ve got to admit that it works some times faster, but either way, if a horse,has been driven the classical style it can be weird, how they react, if you try it in a subtil way,
The way your advise get’s a grip, on what i do, it’s on most of the time when am among horses, it always seem to work.
Within this i’d like to thank you for the opportunities it brought me the last years.
Take care & cowboy up
Sincerely Denis

I train my horse in dressage but am blown away by how helpful western riders are and how akin they are to dressage training, in many ways better and with more feeling it seems.
