{"title":"Breast Collars: Fit Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eA breast collar earns its keep on a steep trail and does nothing at all hanging loose across a horse's chest. Most of the ones we see in the parking lot are set too low, which is the one mistake that turns a useful strap into something that gets in the way of the shoulder. Fit is almost entirely about height and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Riders Are Actually Asking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should a breast collar sit on the horse?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top edge of the shoulder straps should ride above the point of the shoulder, near where the neck ties into the shoulder. If the strap sags below the point of the shoulder it is too big or hung too low, and every stride the horse takes drives the shoulder blade into it. The center ring wants to sit at the front of the chest, roughly level with the point of the shoulder, and the center strap running down to the cinch should be snug rather than swinging. A flat hand should slide under the shoulder straps without a struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I size a breast collar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure across the front of the chest from one side to the other, following the line the collar will take between the two front dees. As a starting point, 32 inches suits slight or narrow-chested horses such as many Arabians and young stock, 34 inches fits an average horse, and 36 inches fits a heavily muscled stock type. Pony and draft sizes exist at either end. Adjustable tugs give you a few inches of play, so buy for the middle of the range rather than the end of the buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a breast collar actually stop the saddle sliding back?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt limits how far back the saddle can travel, which is real and useful climbing hills, roping or riding a horse with flat withers. What it does not do is fix a saddle that is too wide or sitting on the wrong part of the back. If your breast collar is under load on flat ground, the saddle is already migrating and you are treating the symptom. Think of it as a stop, not a support. The riders who get the most from one are trail riders in steep country and anyone taking the shock of a rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePulling, contoured or tripping style — which do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight pulling collars are a simple band, cheap and strong, and fine for gentle work. Contoured collars are shaped to curve away from the shoulder, which is what you want on a horse with a big front end or for long days. Tripping and roper collars are the wide ones, three inches and up, built to spread the load when a rope comes tight. Width tracks the job: one to two inches for horsemanship and pleasure where the saddle barely moves, three to five inches for roping and heavy ranch work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is an English breastplate different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn English five point or three point breastplate attaches at the saddle billets and often at the girth as well, spreading the load across the shoulders instead of pulling from two dees. Many include a ring at the chest for a running martingale attachment, which a western breast collar generally does not. Both are doing the same job of stopping the saddle sliding back, but they are not interchangeable hardware, so match the breastplate to the saddle you actually ride in rather than to the horse's size alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Choose the Right Breast Collar\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet the height before anything else:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder straps above the point of shoulder.

Running it off the cinch rings alone lets it drop onto the shoulder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTake the width from the job:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 2 inches for pleasure and horsemanship, 3 inches and up where a rope or steep ground puts real load on it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnug the center strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e It should be taut enough to stop the collar swinging, loose enough that the horse can drop his head and drink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Page Is Not For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis page covers western breast collars and English breastplates and how to fit them.
