It is primarily designed for jumping and eventing where stability is required, but it is versatile enough for general schooling.
The breastplate should lie flat against the shoulder and chest without restricting the horse's ability to stretch their neck or stride.
Yes, the product includes the detachable rein attachments as part of the system.
Yes, the anatomical padding on the shoulder sections is specifically designed to minimize friction and pressure on sensitive areas.
Depending on usage and climate, conditioning every 2-4 weeks is recommended to maintain the leather's health.
Apply a liberal coat of leather balm or conditioner to help soften the fibers and break the leather in.
Ensure the clip mechanism is free of debris; use a small amount of silicone spray if the spring-loaded clip is sticking.
Double-check the adjustment of all five points; the breastplate should be snug enough to hold the saddle in place but allow a hand-width of clearance.
To achieve the optimal fit, begin by adjusting the five attachment points while the horse is standing square. Ensure that the breastplate sits flat against the horse's chest without sagging or overtightening, as this can impede breathing. For compatibility, the adjustable straps ensure the item fits a wide variety of horse breeds and saddle types. Regarding care, always wipe down the leather after use to remove sweat or dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple, especially if stored in dry or changing temperature environments. Check all metal clips regularly for smooth operation and signs of wear.
