Some riders use a martingale to prevent their saddle from sliding back during a jump. A martingale is a set of straps attached to the horse’s noseband and reins with one end tied around the perimeter. Running martingales are more common than standing ones and are acceptable at all levels of show jumping.
A snaffle bridle is preferred in the show jumper ring because it gives the rider direct contact with the horse’s mouth and more precise communication and control. Some riders wear body protectors to shield their legs, torso, and tailbone from falling.
