And that reminds me, do English girths, have a ring in the center to hook a tie down or running martingale too? I think I remember with Jennys English rig she had no where to hook a tie down too.

On bridles.... only cosmetic style differences, really... the type of buckles on the headstall might be different for style is all. They all work the same, we'll fix you up before you enter any shows :~D
You can get some of the English girths that do have rings for breastcollars or a tie down. Mine doesn't have, but they make a leather loop that slides over the girth and has a ring on it. I use the loop of my breastcollar to slide the cinch through before buckling it up, and took the snap off of it.

I blieve that you can find english girths with rings on the middle, but I've never used one, or seen one used. With english standing or running martingales, there's usually a loop that you can slip the girth through that will keep it in place. Standing martingales, you need the noseband, because that's what the top part attaches to. On running martingales, the reins slip through either side.
