Full details

The Velociti Lusso Three Point Elastic Breastplate is designed for riders seeking enhanced saddle stability and improved horse comfort during ridden work. Its key benefit lies in the wide elastic inserts that absorb jolts and allow for unrestricted shoulder movement, preventing saddle slippage. A potential caveat is that the ergonomic design, while beneficial for pressure distribution, requires proper adjustment for optimal performance. This breastplate is crafted from eco-friendly, vegetable-tanned leather and features adjustable straps for a custom fit, a padded girth strap for comfort, and a detachable running martingale.

FAQs

What type of leather is used for this breastplate?

The Velociti Lusso breastplate is crafted from eco-friendly, vegetable-tanned European leather.

How do I clean and maintain the leather?

Clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner regularly. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

Can the running martingale be used with other breastplates?

The running martingale attachment is designed specifically for this breastplate model. Compatibility with other tack may vary.

What is the main benefit of the elastic inserts?

The wide elastic inserts absorb jolts, provide smoother transitions, and allow for unrestricted shoulder movement, enhancing the horse's comfort and performance.

How does this breastplate prevent saddle slippage?

It distributes pressure and anchors the saddle, providing stability through the three-point connection system, thereby helping to prevent the saddle from shifting.

Are all the straps adjustable?

Yes, all straps on the Velociti Lusso breastplate are fully adjustable to allow for a customized and secure fit for individual horses.

What kind of hardware is used?

The breastplate is finished with high-shine stainless steel hardware.

Troubleshooting

Breastplate causing discomfort or rubbing

Ensure all straps are properly adjusted for a custom fit and not too tight. Check that the leather is clean and conditioned to maintain suppleness. Verify that the saddle is sitting correctly and not contributing to pressure points.

Saddle still slipping despite wearing the breastplate

Re-evaluate strap adjustments for even tension. Confirm the girth is adequately tightened. Ensure the breastplate itself is positioned correctly and not hindering the saddle's natural fit.

Hardware becoming stiff or discolored

Clean stainless steel hardware with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Detachable martingale is difficult to attach/remove

Ensure the clips are clean and free from dirt or debris. Gently work the clip mechanism. If it remains stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant may be applied to the clip mechanism only.
