A breastplate helps secure the tack onto the horse and becomes particularly helpful on horses with large shoulders and a flat ribcage. It's also a safety component from the standpoint that if the rider's girth or billets should break, the rider will have time to stop and dismount before the saddle slips completely off.

Read More »You’d be surprised at the number of people who use a breastplate on their horse mostly for looks. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. We’ll admit it looks cool. It makes a horse look even more like a horse. So if fashion’s your thing, then using a breastplate is perfectly fine. However, there’s another reason for utilizing a breastplate, and it’s far more important: safety. As you may know, a breastplate is a piece of riding equipment, used to keep the saddle or harness on a horse from sliding back. It not only secures the saddle, but still allows a horse’s big shoulder’s to move and gives the rider something to hold onto. Sometimes horses need them specifically for a job they do. Breastplates can be expensive, but it’s probably a good idea to have one. Let’s take a closer look.

Read More »There are a lot of different options when it comes to breastplate styles. The classic breastplate for English riding is the stockman’s or hunting breastplate – which essentially has a “Y” shape. It has a yoke with a neck and wither strap, a breast strap at the yoke’s bottom that runs through the front legs and attaches to the girth, and two straps at the top of the yoke which then attach to the D-rings on a saddle. This style is used by endurance horses, hunters, eventers and show jumpers. Another popular breastplate style is called the breast collar. This can be confusing, because western riders use “breast collar” and “breastplate” interchangeably. With this style, the breast collar consists of a chest strap that buckles to one billet of the saddle, goes around the chest and attaches to the billet on the other side. A wither strap allows the height of the breast collar to be adjusted and prevents it from slipping. That makes this style slightly more secure than the hunting breastplate, but it’s a little less desirable for jumping and riding in steep hills. The breastgirth is made of elastic and is similar to the breast collar, but has no wither strap. It runs from the saddle’s D-rings or is attached to a loop around the stirrup bars. While the style is up to you, it’s also important to find one that allows the horse to have shoulder movement and not hinder breathing. Also, higher quality leather is a strong investment; cheaper versions can be more irritating.
