What does martingale mean?
A collar or strap that fits around a horse's neck to prevent it from pulling too hard on a harness or bridle, or a betting system in which a gambler increases their bet after each loss, in the hope of recouping losses and making a profit.
Example
"The jockey adjusted the martingale to prevent the horse from pulling too hard on the reins."
