Veteran Posts: 186 Location: Good ole SE Mo	I have always wondered more about these. I have a set of all three but have never been properly trained on them. Can you guys tell me when it's best to use each one? Or even better where I can find (on the internet) that talks about them and also shows how to properly adjust them. I would really like to know more about them. Thanks!

We never rode with German martingale a when I was riding h/j, but frequently draw reins in addition to our regular rein. If you're not coordinated with good hands, you can do more harm than good with a draw rein. I like my German martingale. I have a training fork but I don't find myself using it much because it restricts my ability to open my hand

	I too prefer the german martingale. I seem to have more control than with the others and my horse likes it better too... Here are the ones i have http://thetackstop.com/joseytrainingrein.htm
