Frequently Asked Questions

Is Latigo leather truly durable for horse tack?

Absolutely. Latigo leather is celebrated for its incredible strength and longevity. It undergoes a unique combination tanning process (chrome and vegetable tanning) that results in a material highly resistant to tearing, cutting, and ripping – making it perfect for the demands of horse tack. Its high oil and wax content also provides inherent moisture resistance, protecting it against environmental wear. While it's a premium material, its robust nature means it's built to last.

How do I ensure a proper fit for my horse with the "one size" design?

The "one size" design of this breast collar is crafted for versatility, accommodating a broad range of horses. For a proper fit, the breast collar should sit snugly above the point of your horse's shoulders, allowing freedom of movement without rubbing or pinching. The center ring should be centered on the chest. The bronzed buckles allow for significant adjustability. For narrower horses or to prevent any sagging, some riders may find a wither strap helpful to further secure the optimal positioning.

What is "Chocolate Roughout" and how do I care for it?

Chocolate Roughout refers to leather where the flesh side is intentionally used as the exterior, creating a distinctive, textured "nap" finish. This gives it a rugged, authentic Western look. A major benefit is its ability to naturally hide minor scuffs and scratches better than smooth leather. To care for it, regularly brush with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather eraser can be effective. Roughout generally requires less conditioning than smooth leather, but light conditioning with products specifically designed for napped leathers can be used sparingly to keep it supple.

What is the main purpose of this breast collar, and will it prevent my saddle from slipping?

The primary purpose of a breast collar is to keep your saddle securely in place and prevent it from sliding backward on your horse. This is especially crucial during activities like riding uphill, galloping, roping, or whenever your horse makes sudden, powerful movements. The Cashel Latigo Leather Breast Collar is highly effective at maintaining saddle stability, thereby enhancing control, improving safety, and ensuring comfort for both horse and rider across various disciplines and challenging terrains.

How does the 2-inch width benefit my horse and saddle?

The 2-inch width of this breast collar is carefully chosen for both functionality and aesthetics. A wider collar, like this one, helps distribute pressure more evenly across your horse's chest, minimizing concentrated pressure points and significantly enhancing comfort during long rides or strenuous activity. Aesthetically, it provides a substantial, classic Western look that integrates beautifully with a variety of Western saddles.
